Youth is wasted on the…on other people.
Thank you all so much for your kind comments yesterday. They totally reduced me to a wet, blubbery mess while reading them on the treadmill at the gym and later, walking the dog and then again at the Rite Aid. Great job, people.
Seriously, though, thank you. It means a lot. And we finally got the hang of giving Arthur his shots, we think. The vet assured us that if we do accidentally hit a vein we won’t kill him. Bathed in relief.
To lighten things up a bit I thought I’d post this old photo of a photo of me and my best friend, Sy Parrish. This was taken when we were both about 21-ish, I think? Sy looks gorgeous and I look well, at least I look young. And skinny.
Clearly, we were both of us going through a pretty heavy Henry and June period – a movie I believe we watched approximately eleventy billion times together. Well…that and The Newsies. And Swing Kids. And Reservoir Dogs. And Until the End of the World. And Romper Stomper.
Moving on!
in other news I will be liveblogging the Prezzy debate tonight with the Merc peoples! I’m pretty excited about it. And also confused as to why they would need my expertise on ankle boots and shiny hair for a political whatchamacalit but whatevs – I’m down as the kids say.
I hope they know I’m a Republican.

Liveblogging the debate? That is awesome – I will tune in. Or type in. Or whatever.
Nice hair.
I’m very stoked for your political commentary. And that bob is magical.
Wow – I totally see the Romper Stomper influence!
Oh yeah, that was before they invented smiling for pictures. I remember that. Also, Liam would like me to mention that we have four rolling IV stands in our garage in case that would be useful for Arthur. You could have one set up near every surface.
It’s very, very retro. And yes, you both look young and thin. And you hair is and always be YOUR POWER.
I’m sorry, I’m having a problem with the typos today. I blame my swollen-teary eyes. That’s why I’m riding my bike to lunch today.
I’ve only heard of like two of those movies. Sometimes I swear I’ve been living in a cave for my entire life.
when i outgrew newsies, i graduated to swing kids. i will force my kids to do the same. clearly i’m not wrong in this line of thought.
