Hi people. The autumn has surely arrived. Colors turning. Leaves falling. Acorns rolling around. Goosebumps rising.
When the weather went from hot to chilly, I caught a cold. I thought that was all it was. But then I was treated for a suspected lung infection. The meds were causing me a lot of problems. I won’t continue with this saga, except to say that it feels so good to feel closer to my normal again.
While feeling sick, I remembered how well my grandmother would nurse me back to health when I was sick as a child. I hope she can feel my appreciation. We had a very difficult and mixed relationship. But I’m not blind or deaf to the good parts. I followed her advice in terms of what to eat when so many things were a problem. It really helped. She knew her stuff.
Dance of the Word was wonderful. The Brevitas Poetry Festival was also wonderful.
On Halloween at 7pm, I am part of This Poet Bears Watching!, hosted by Jacqueline Annette. 353 West 48 Street, 2nd floor, studio 4. $10 includes wine, juice, and light food. Costumes welcome!
If you feel tempted to watch a kooky, gory, inventive film where I played a prostitute and the mother of a prostitute some years ago, here’s “Hectic Knife.”
Much love to CGG-M ❤ 💕 ❤
