Two Working Titles: Personal Remarks on Wednesday the 25th, er, 26th OR I must say, I felt nonchalantly poetic today

1. All day I thought it was the 25th of November

2. I was walking the dog and sneezed 3 times. A man across the street heard me, and waited to say "God Bless You" after he crossed the street towards me. I was surprised and a little confused... then again, it might've been rude for him to just yell it across the block.

3. At work, I saw a man and his mail order bride. He bought two coffee's, and later I overheard her asking the definition of "rebate". She was fashionable in an 1980's kind of way, he was in his 50's I think.

4. I heard a lady's accent change from an American accent to an English accent... as 

she was talking to an English woman. Did she think it wasn't obvious? Was she trying to impress her?

5.  Two things struck me as beautiful today:

--

The word, soliliquy. I just want to see it written over and over again in nice cursive. I want to hear it said in my ear in a whispered, deep voice  "soh--li-low-key". Don't you?

---

And then this photograph of Louise Brooks listening to records just took my breath away

(I feel that way too, Louise)

6. I sliced cheese for an hour at work, while listening to the classical station. And I thought to myself, " I could listen to classical music all day". I was overcome with a desire to see/hear live classical music as soon as possible. So, I think I'm going to see Stephen Hough @ Kilbourn Hall next Tuesday. I would love to hear Moonlight Sonata, but it's not in his program. 

 7. I'd like to start a supper club. 

8. Several friends from NYC  are back for Thanksgiving. I'm especially excited to see Alana and Phil.  Phil is the biggest rolling stones fan I know. 

9. Excited to see this movie 

 10. Tomorrow is Thanksgiving. I used to watch the big parade on the roof of my apartment building in Herald Square. Tonight we would've gone uptown to see all the balloons being inflated and lined up, and we would've stayed up late hearing the bands and marchers rehearse. I miss New York City, but I'm so happy here. I have so much to be grateful for. This has been my recovery year... and it's only going to get better.
