“Not On Topic” - thanks to Barbara and everyone else who called about my minuscule appearance in The New Yorker about sex direction in the movies — I blabbed to author for hours, and I bet she has enough for a book . . . I had a ball with Serena and Mona in our Shameless Hussies meetup. Mona was phoning in from the Dominican Republic where the new president is trying his best to be Trump Lite . . . David, that was wild about the story you sent on how Ansel Adams moved way to the right during the Free Speech Movement days on Berkeley. But why? You don’t see that a lot with art photographers, to say the least . . . A bunch of unrepentant codgers (including me) got on KSQD last night to talk about Mike Rotkin’s passing. He was like the Zohran Mamdani of Santa Cruz in the 80s and 90s! Wore a t-shirt all around town that said, “This is What a Socialist Feminist Looks Like.” Made so much of this town what it is today and why we love it . . . Please think of our beloved Heather Harrison, she’s got one of those fucking brain cancer diagnoses. LOVE TO YOU, and how’s this for catching up?

First of all, I love the inspirational music. I will never forget the 2006 (or was it 2007?) Exotic Erotic Ball wherein Peaches and the Vau de Vire Society took the stage and several minutes into it she belted out "Fuck the Pain Away." I was mesmerized.

Fun Fact to Know and Tell: My Japanese-Mexican wife loves Kewpie mayo.

If we didn't have to soothe our furbabies (especially Fiona) I'd bring my version of mac salad and show you how to make a Violet Death in the Afternoon.

We have a cadre of douche-filters within a few blocks of us who seem to forget that this town is chock-full of PTSD-afflicted veterans (nearby AFB) and lots of puppies, and they fire off the illegal rockets (which pisses off this Leftie veteran) with impunity. I mean, Thor's Balls, children! Three nearby cities do a display, for Zeus' sake! Go see that!

I had to LMAO at the "small serving of cereal." I'm stealing that idea. It's why I have loved you for so long.

Have a rebellious blowout! UP THE REBELS!!
