#whartonbuddyread - I‘m finally starting. Chat Saturday!
Tis the season. My therapist is out sick, the appointment is already on my work calendar so I am taking a moment away.
Reading about the incomparable Nina Simone
I just read George M. Johnson's Flamboyants, which is an introduction to several icons from the Harlem Renaissance. So of course I had to read some of their poetry.

#whartonbuddyread - how committed are you? 🙂 Here‘s the plan for Wharton‘s notoriously unrevealing autobiography. We‘ll learn what she wants us to learn about her parents and Henry James, etc - I think.
Are you in?
Plan:
Nov 22 chapter I-V Friendship and Travels
Nov 29 chapter VI-VIII Henry James
Dec 6 chapter IX-XI Paris
Dec 13 chapter XII-XIV And After

I do not care that this Saturday, the clock goes back one hour. I've been doing this for 69 years. I do not care that the media brings news stories of how dangerous it is after this fallback happens. Please, don't talk about it because the government will never change it. Maybe we should just live with it. It's not that bad, and I just don't care.
I am currently addicted to nerds gummies and with Halloween they come in perfect packages to snack on.

pickIf all christians were like Pope Francis, they would not have to proselytise. If all people were like Pope Francis, we wouldn‘t have wars, abused children, hunger, or poverty. I am baffled that this man was so controversial as a pope when all he preached was what Jesus preached. He had love and compassion for all. What a sorry state we live in that love and compassion are controversial.
