This book is giving me great interview ideas. I am going to dig my old interview notes out of my closet to do some vintage style interviews.


I got new Car Floor mats today! Woot! TNBC was all over clubs in Texas a few years back so it has sentimental value for me. Halloween car transformed! I drive for Uber Eats and Door Dash when I am not teaching, so I have to make my vehicle food-proof anyway. Seat and floor mat covers can be washed.

Alexandria’s Graduation Day Videos 2020. My daughter Alexandria graduated High School on Tuesday of this week in 2020. Despite the pandemic and riots of this year the walk across the stage and dinner party at the outside patios of Mellow Mushroom went well! I gave her many graduation gifts including an MP3 player and music box.
School visit with Alexandria to Fredericksburg, VA this weekend. Anne, Jean Brehm-stern, Alexandria and I all went on the road trip. Turns out it was a good time to get out of Richmond for a while. The weekend long protests and curfew now in effect are really taking a toll.
From NBC12: “RICHMOND, Va. (WWBT) – The third night of protests erupts in the city of Richmond while a citywide curfew is in effect.” https://www.nbc12.com/2020/05/31/third-night-protests-erupt-downtown-richmond-amid-citywide-curfew/
I was working food delivery in downtown Richmond, VA right right before the riots. Rioters lighted 2 vehicles on fire, and there was shooting. Luckily I was not shot or hurt. People texted me to make sure I was okay in the morning, but I missed the worst of it. We live in scary times.

My aunt Jeany is visiting from LA in two days. I am so excited! I have not heard from her in a while.
