Oregon

Every right wing nut in the country has been encouraged now. My best friend used to say he loved Oregon but hated Oregonians. This jury is why.

By shauna: "Trump goes on trial for fraud in November and child rape in December but YOU GUYS the FBI found emails Hillary didn't send, so."

A typical "literary life" story

Turned down 18 times. Then Paul Beatty won the Booker …

Happy bday to me

Hired yard crew to get us spiffy for showing. We're getting interior spiffy ... in theory. I may do it all in the end.

Whew

Furnace passed inspection with flying colors. Onward.

Drama

"Negotiations" even before listing with agent of neighbor interested in buying. Goal, highest price possible. Our last income stream!

The starting line

Stunned

Suddenly progress is sprinting forward. With or without help, I need to keep up!

We should be out of here before the end of the year, after all.

Wow

Realtor doesn't fart around: house being listed Nov 10.

A ton TON of prep to do! And Harriet needs to get on board.

Eventful week

Realtor visits today. See how close we are.

Furnace inspection tomorrow. Knock on my wooden head.

Birthday Wednesday. 77. Hayden just died at 76. Vee just died at 75. Hmm.

Had expected to celebrate it at Russellville.

Great World Series

Can't wait. Something to do while I WAIT. Frustration is my middle name.

Passed annual check up. Why am I not excited?

52-49

Exciting game, Cal beating Oregon, but I had to listen to most of it on radio with Oregon's broadcasters, the most arrogant, biased, whining voices in sports. Hard to root for alma mater with those clowns.

Lunch at Russellville

Too much

90% of BR done ... And done in, think I overdid it.

Seeing an ending

Cleared a dozen boxes out of the living room, moving them to basement, a step toward making house presentable. Lot of labor for the old guy, carrying boxes downstairs. Catch my breath and do same for bedroom.

Ghost of Monica

I have progressive friends who loathe Hillary. I think they hugely underestimate the danger of Donald.

Besides, the ghost of Monica may propel a President HRC into surprising directions to show up Bill, including progressive ones. After all, her nickname as First Lady was Madam Bolshevik.

Community

I hope in Russellville, in time, I regain a sense of community. I haven't had it in Portland for 25 years.

In the 1980s Portland's theater community and the city itself felt like home. But as the decade wound down, a number of things changed: my three "directors" left the community (retiring, moving, dying), my work's focus shifted to hyperdrama and an audience overseas, and a retrospective of my work felt like a funeral. I haven't felt at home here since then.

Maybe I can find community in Russellville.
