Marcia has received emails of all my blog postings for many months now -- and I wanted her to get to see how reasonable I am in person -- as opposed to often being shrill on blog. I found her charming, and I told her I am NOT in her district, but have followed her, and wish her the BEST OF LUCK, because unlike MOST local Democrats -- and ALL Republicans -- she does NOT appear to be CORRUPTED.
She simply smiled, showing she knew JUST WHAT I MEANT.
I also had some good conversation with the married couple at Unitarian Universalist, that includes the guy who has not been able to work for years, has "Social Anxieties", and has been on Valium for YEARS -- just like Tennessee Williams was addicted to it -- they BOTH put on it and maintained by doctors. It is better than addiction to Heroin, Crack, or Meth -- or Xanax, as my friend from my Tennessee Williams days, artist Mark Beard, is addicted. Mark's great-grandfather was one of the three Joseph Smith dictated the Book of Mormon to -- and Mark's family owns the largest Mormon Bank today.

Day five of the book challenge: "Anybody who acquires a taste for Purdy will read them all, and seek out his plays; by their very nature his books cannot be wolfed down in swift succession, which makes them a particular, enduring taste."
Yes indeed. any of his writing would qualify, but I'll highlight the first, a 1956 novella, collected in this book (but privately published, I think, in 1956 in Don’t Call Me by My Right Name). I met Purdy once, at a book-signing at A Different Light bookstore in Los Angeles, circa 1987; he spotted a limited edition of his poetry collection The Brooklyn Branding Parlors as part of our author-appearance display, and remarked that he'd never seen a copy in a bookstore. A quiet man...and today I tag Jennifer Wilke to widen the casting of the book-read net.
