Ugh. Also that is one of my favorite books of all time (Boy Toy).

But yes, I have a book on the Texas High School reading list that is also banned in parts of….Texas. And I’m super tired of trying to explain to people why that is a bad thing.

I voted early for her. Crossing everything. It's a cold, grey day out there. I hope everyone dresses warm and gets out there anyhow. Remember, if you're in line by 7, you MUST be allowed to vote.

That was fascinating. And the end gave me chills. Also, I'm pretty sure you're great at whatever you do, so thank you for doing good for the world (and for us!).

Actually my memory isn’t as bad as I feared. You were West End? I saw it in NYC in ‘85.

Holy crap! I’d forgotten that. Should have gotten your autograph next to Harvey’s. I was so nervous about getting caught. But everyone taking smoke breaks made it easy.
