Monday Night, November 5 - Election Eve

November 5, 2018

1) My goodness, I don’t understand how ye Fycebykke decides things about me, but this evening I had to delete these tags from my ad settings: engineering, innovation, public broadcasting (with a map of Great Britain), structure, Fenway Park (!), Traverse City micropolitan area, Simon & Schuster, George Santayana, performing arts, concept album, classical ballet, Northern Michigan, and prehistory.

1a) It’s unusual for me to retain one of these suggested settings, but for giggles I’m keeping: Boston, Lincolnshire; creativity, and erotic novels.

2) Continuing to celebrate Vivien Leigh’s birthday by finishing That Hamilton Woman and watching a movie only I would watch, Dark Journey from 1937 with Conrad Veidt. A WWI espionage drama costumed for the 1930s and a screenplay that needs a bit of work . . . but I love it.

3) As most of us do, when I got home I went to slip into something more comfortable, and the first thing I found was my Do Better T-shirt from my Do Better Box, a project of my Young Interlochen Friend Danny. And it’s very appropriate for the night before Election Day, ‘cause gurrrllll . . . we can ALL do better! #vote
