the show is fast approaching…day by day. today we did a run through. tomorrow a dress rehearsal. pulling it all together…
the hardest part about letting go of a friendship is losing the intimacy…the special club that knows the secret passwords and handshakes…hell…that knows the secrets. saying goodbye, even for good and healthy reasons, doesn’t make that transition to stranger and bystander any easier. all of a sudden this person who still knows the heart of […]
it only struck me yesterday, as i rushed to the 24th floor with something or other of “importance” regarding my education. it actually made me stop for a second and then laugh a rueful laugh. tulane was hosting some sort of meeting titled, “caring for the uninsured”. i am uninsured. i, who spend my time […]
