85 Candles: Here's wishing Joan Baez a very happy birthday! I finally caught the "I Am a Noise" documentary about the legendary folk singer/civil rights activist and I must say I almost wish I hadn't. While I enjoyed hearing about her early career, learning that she and her sister had fallen prey to the "repressed memory therapy" fad of the late '80s and '90s really broke my heart.

This Reader's Digiest

I so unexpectedly enjoyed Jennifer Otter Bickerdike's "Eternal Flame" that it relit my reading light, and I've since finished Chrissy Amphlett's "Pleasure and Pain" (only for hardcore fans), Woody Allen's "Apropos of Nothing" (thoroughly enjoyable and pulls no punches about Mia Farrow and the false allegations), and Sheila Weller's "Girls Like Us," which I had bought for the flight to Argentina in 2019 but never finished. If you're a Carole-Joni-Carly queen, you'll enjoy it. Like the Bangles biography, I didn't think there was anything more I could learn about Jesse's girl, but boy was I wrong! 

What are you reading? 

UPDATE: My literary agent friend told me he's been enjoying audiobooks of late -- and I'm wondering if anyone else has feelings about them, too. In addition to my post-Covid attention-span problem with reading, I've noticed that even with my up-to-date glasses, I find it hard to see sometimes, especially in bed. (Those clip-on lights are dreadfully cumbersome.) I'm thinking about giving my old high-school pal Sal Paradise a try! 

Our Tree Means Business

 

I don’t think either of us expected to see our Christmas tree again when we took it out to the sidewalk on Three Kings’ Day. So perhaps it’s not completely surprising -- if still a little cute -- that Damian and I individually snapped photos and sent them to each other when we spotted it on our block today!
