Wednesday Night, May 3

May 3, 2017

1) Everyone is talking about my orange suede shoes.

1a) Notice how blurry this photo is? I finesse this by calling it the Elizabeth Taylor Filter, whereas what I really need is a new camera.

2) Some high-end gardener got a deal on white tulips, because they are planted everywhere throughout Back Bay in profusion.

3) In several ways this day was kind of a mess, and it turns out it's because Mercury is going direct and the full moon is about to go into Scorpio. It's time to check out the Town and Country horoscope again - and remember, it's the T&C that predicted my move to the Pastel Prison back in autumn, 1999.
