She was very nervous, having never flown without her husband. But he died on Nov. 28. Not seven months ago, not last year. “Nov. 28th.” She was married to him for 47 years. The man I was crying over? I knew him barely 47 days. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/09/my-r...

In a tent I feel like a human burrito, just lying there for animals of all sizes to nibble on. But in my car I felt safe. And it was quiet. And I could see the stars! How I finally learned to love camping: Sleeping my car! thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/09/how-...

She remembers walking that night as a way to help her mind absorb what had happened, describing the streets as "deserted by people, but sheets of pristine white paper that had blown out of the towers were everywhere, mixing with grey ash." www.ukiahdailyjournal.com/2026/09/11/2...

Brought out my trusty transistor radio to listen to my Niners play rather than watch them on Netflix. So far, it's almost as satisfying as listening to "The Catch" with my father: thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2022/01/list...

I loved Anthony Bourdain, and I loved Tony: A perfect portrait of an icon in the making, and a perfect portrayal of teen-age arrogance being sliced and diced by the knives of adulthood that eventually cut us all. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/09/movi...

My August movies were all about endings: The end to life as we know it; the end of teen-age freedom as the wave of adulthood looms; and the end of wishing for something just out of reach instead of embracing what you can touch right now. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/09/movi...

Cloak & Dirtbag, anyone? I enjoyed Inde Navarette in Obsession so much that I can’t wait to see what she does next. And maybe it could be my idea called “Cloak and Dirtbag,” about a man with a magic cloak which hides that he is a total dirtbag. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/08/movi...

Navarette not only melted her face from happy to sad to angry and back again in seconds, she often swirled all three emotions together in one bubbling cauldron to create one of the most impressive, and truly unsettling, performances I have ever seen. thatwascooladdress.blogspot.com/2026/08/movi...
