Hiroshima Day, and My Sister's Birthday
I just rang her. She says life is boring.
Richard said, "Don't believe her!"

Deborah and I talked about liquorice, libraries, laptops, laundry, and their upcoming trip to Virginia, which doesn't start with an ell, but is definitely 'ellish.

I told Richard about Sam and he said, "What did he do?" I said I hadn't asked and didn't really care, and that, in fact he might be SHOCKED* to hear this, but a young Native** man could wind up in jail even if he had done nothing. Richard said, in mock shock, something like, "I've never HEARD of such a thing!"
*Richard is Black.
**I ran an art program for gifted students at Wa He Lut Indian School for 16 years. It wavered from a day to two days a week.
