Few things feel more cathartic than getting rid of drawers full of tangled mystery chords, but ditching a bowl full of mystery keys accrued over several decades and multiple domiciles has got to be a close second. Glad you're loving your new digs, Clint. And thank you for pointing folks in my direction today, much appreciated. 💜💜💜

Sure thing, Keith. I’m of the “all ships rise” philosophy. And you’re a great writer. Happy to spotlight you and your work. Cheers…and thanks for the reminder about all those damn keys. Where do they come from? And where did my socks go? I’m missing a bunch of matching socks. :-p

Thanks for these kind words about my writing, Clint. And I've long been convinced that there is a giant black hole in the universe that contains all the lost sock and mitten mates, pen caps, and earring backs (and probably a bunch of other long lost twins). If I come across it, you're the first one I'll call. ; )

Thanks Clint and Happy Birthday "Dick Button".

I love Chicago's own Jennifer Hudson, but Alex Newell's I Am Changing, with the Boston Gay Men's Chorus, is my favorite. I always say Dreamgirls is really an opera.

I watched most of Ainadamar today on YT from Bogota.

I get ads from Wrightwood659 and The First Homosexuals every day now.

Is your roommate Sheldon?

Oh, Steve…Sheldon would be an upgrade. Though I love my roommate like a little brother I never wanted. Being an only child, that’s the best compliment I can give him. And he knows it. Probably the secret to our 20+ year friendship. :-p

I’ll check out the Boston Gay Men’s Chorus version. And I agree about Dreamgirls being an opera. I think Bill Condon would agree. I think he did a beautiful job adapting the musical for the screen. Cheers!

Take care with Blessings, Larry

Much appreciated, Doug. I’ll be so excited/relieved when I wrap up loose ends at my old place and hand over keys to the landlord. Lovely place, but I think I prefer a smaller place. Who knew? Cheers!
