Mwah!

Darlings,

I will be in LA this weekend. But first I have to finish building the fence, planting flowers, penciling page 30, taking in the dress, getting a spray tan ---
Wait a minute. I'm not getting a spray tan. It won't cover the bug bites (yard work). Besides, I blew my budget on my hair, covering the grey.

Here is a picture taken the last time I was in LA. For a Twisted Sisters Exhibition at Billy Shire's Gallery. Early 1990s. This is me & my then boyfriend on Sunset Blvd.

I love LA

See you next week, my west coast pals!

Found with the receipts

It's tax time. Here's something I scrawled on the back of a receipt, dated 10/19/10:

Riding up with a young girl in dank elevator at the art school where I teach.
She's unaffected and bottle-blonde pissy, grip-wrinkling an expensive sheet of bristol paper.
Chomping chips comatose.
Strapless cotton print dress -- one nude shoulder leans back onto the brushed chrome - cowboy boots crossed at the ankle, key dangling on a lanyard, angling

So dreadfully bored
in the good 50 seconds we have left together.

The Call-Up

Gonna be hard to work this week with Ken Burns' Civil War series being rebroadcast each evening.
I missed its first time around (kid to raise).

Sometimes it's . . .
