We have slowed to a damn crawl, is what we have done.

Well, page seven got here, but I'm waiting for page eight and woe to those who go down rabbit holes and don't help.

I ordered a burger because I haven't eaten since eleven-thirty.

No, I have not.

bk · « **Reply #184 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:02:48 PM »

I really haven't.

Where is everybody?

TCB · « **Reply #186 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:27:49 PM »

Obviously, not here.

Today I went to the pain doctor.

I asked my sister and brother-in-law to drive me and then offered to buy them lunch at our favorite place, the Cloverleaf tavern for pizza?

TCB · « **Reply #189 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:29:31 PM »

They said I didn’t have to do that, but I insisted.

TCB · « **Reply #190 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:29:48 PM »

It wasn’t until I got to the doctors office that I realized I didn’t bring my wallet.

TCB · « **Reply #191 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:30:13 PM »

So my sister ended up buying my lunch.

My oldest great nephew, Elijah, came with this.

TCB · « **Reply #193 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:31:29 PM »

That was great. It was only the second time I’ve seen him since he got back from the slammer.

TCB · « **Reply #194 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:31:46 PM »

It was also the first time he’s seen my condo.

TCB · « **Reply #195 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:32:26 PM »

Anyway, a good time was had by all. And I finally got the pizza. I was supposed to have a year ago when I broke my ankle.

It is still so hard to believe that Cindy Williams is gone. Of course, I never met her, but I felt like I knew her through Bruce.

I know. At least, there's one last project with her to look forward to.

It was very interesting. I had forgotten some of the horror stories of how black entertainers were treated in the 40s and 50s. Lena Horn, being not only a singer, but a movie star, insisted on being allowed to stay at the hotel where she was performing. They allowed her to do that, but every morning they burned the sheets.

TCB · « **Reply #203 on:** February 01, 2023, 11:57:13 PM »

It seemed a shame to burn the sheets, when I’m sure they could’ve found a couple of Southerners, willing to buy them and reuse them.

And Dorothy Dandridge dipped her toe into the swimming pool at one of the hotels, and they had to drain the entire pool.

Oh, my goodness!

I'd heard some horror stories but I don't think I'd heard that before!
