Honesty?

Honesty, is the portrayal of the truth that many of us strive for.   There is a show on Apple TV called Shrinking.  Pain is on full display along with honest connections between people. The characters wear their feelings on their


sleeves.   The story lines are sometimes confusing like life itself.  Harrison Ford as a supporting character is outstanding in his understatement.  One of the writer/producers is the gruff Brett Goldstein (Roy Kent from Ted Lasso).  He plays a pivotal role and has yet to resolve his conflicts.  Jason Segal as the main protagonist is a bundle of neuroses even though he is a therapist. There is lots of cursing in this show, but it becomes just language, without real offense.  This language aspect is what adds modernity to the program.  People talk like that now.  Americans are behind the curve on this.  The Brits have been cursing acceptably for some time, ultimately with little impact.

Having lunch with a friend I haven't seen since my heart situation back in March.  We have texted back and forth and I know his new granddaughter brings him great joy.  He and I raced slot cars and listened to the Beatles when we were teenagers.  It will be great to see him and catch up.

Harry had a bath in the sink today.  This new deep sink really suits him and his size.  Judy did the full beauty treatment on him including nails and teeth.  He seems to be quite accustomed to it.  

I am going to a writers workshop this week.  Don't know how I will fit into this group.  I am not a novelist or writer of short stories.  I write about my personal observations on the world and my life as it is.  Still furious about the outcome of this election, not really over it at this point.  I am still in complete disbelief over all the citizens that voted for him, mirroring the hate that he disseminates. 

Harry is lounging after his bath and I have vacuuming ahead of me.

Breakfast is done.  It's raining outside.

all for now
