and, I’d have enjoyed the backseat WAY more as a child if I’d had a mirror, a vase and a seatback table

on a Friday afternoon in DC

we went to DCist Exposed, and see the Road to Freedom: Photographs of the Civil Rights Movement, 1956-1968, a great exhibit of Civil Rights Era photography at the Ripley.

I would have liked the first better if the second hadn’t been SO good. We bought a bottle of St Germain and also saw some celebrities:

today is sunny, but I am grey

Sick has been flirting with me all week. Not that sexy glances-exchanged version, but the creepy stalker sore-throat-pops-up-when-you-least-expect-it.

I’ve been trying to restrain it with juice and bedrest, even going so far as to take a sick day, but I’ve also been going out at night to see films. Tuesday was Trouble the Water; Thursday was The Reader.

Have you seen these? Really excellent. Also, really depressing. And today, sore throat has turned into sneezing & sniffles. As a result, while it’s finally warmed up above 30* today, I’m content on the sofa for now.

in my version of a memorial

Sid and I would be hanging out in the Beers Books parking lot, dancing on Cricket’s trunk with the windows open and “Oh Boy” blasting
