The other day I signed up for a Lifetime Membership for a Meditation App. It seemed like a no-brainer, until I heard myself think, “Wait a minute – how long would I have to live to make this lifetime membership worthwhile?” A quick calculation told me I would have to live for three more years. That sounded doable. But what in the Sam Hill am I doing thinking thoughts like THAT?

Actors Are Magicians – January 23, 2023
Actors know that a world with no stories would go wobbling off into the Universe and burn to a crisp or freeze over until it was colder than the heart of a certain Supreme Court Justice.
Happy Birthday, Martin Luther King, Jr.
In addition to being King’s birthday, this year January 15th marked the closing date for SEVEN Broadway shows. Four of those shows feature black casts: “Death of a Salesman,” “A Strange Loop,” “Topdog/Underdog,” and “Ohio State Murders.” A fifth, “The Piano Lesson,” will close in two weeks.
Lovely. I see your great grandfather’s droll sense of humor has passed on through the generations to you. That photo of a younger Gracie brings to mind the older Gracie I knew. Thanks for the memory.
So glad to share those memories with you. See thee in 23?
Better than any earthly treasure, this letter that has passed down into your hands, Tulis!
Letters like this are sadly absent these days.
In this current era of tweets and insta-this&that, we may not see its like again.
Lovely, Tulis,
What a delightful use of language those Scottish immigrants!
Brought back so many memories of Gramma Gracie, including the ginger cookies that Ruth still makes and hands out at Christmas parties.
Wonderful that you keep these family characters alive by sharing their words and stories.
Love,
Paul Peter
Aren’t we lucky to have shared knowing her.
Wow, what a letter! Lovely to hear your voice reading it, but would have enjoyed hearing your Scottish burr too (was she pearly or poorly?!?).
Oh you will have to teach me!
Pearly definitely pearly.
