Mexico, Arleta Berta

This seems like a May scene, I like the light color and rough style, it almost has the feeling of a brisk breeze, I bet there are nice earthy smells, maybe food cooking somewhere.

I was was thinking about how the feel of the painting influences my sense of the relationship of the people on the road, there's a warmth radiating in the center, but it's still jagged and exciting, I think they like each other but haven't kissed yet 😁

I'm not sure it's fashionable in 2025 to worry about being too reticent in one's courtship practices. In fact, I'm sure it's NOT. Better a "goddamn perfect gentleman" than a douchebag whose name is in the whisper network...

Rain

The kids are at a concert with their father and their step mother. Jen is working. I’m sitting in the living room typing this and looking at a sleeping cat or two.

I want to shoot film at sunrise but I can’t because New England in April means rain on the weekends. Not just the weekends, of course, it just seems that way. Every Thursday or Friday I start looking forward to the weekend and I check the weather forecast and it’s always the same. It is always rain. Rain and gloom. Even the Red Sox have been in a rain delay for the last hour and a half or so.

I wish I could have made it into the city to join in on the Hands Off demonstrations today, but the kids were here and I would rather be with the kids than almost anything so I happily stayed home. One of these days there will be a certain ridiculously tall old person with red hair in one of those Boston throngs, I promise.

Until then, here’s a photo of Lily that I took a few minutes before she jumped up onto the ottoman and curled herself into a ball and fell asleep.

I think Jen and I are going to do dinner via DoorDash tonight. It’s a special day for us so we need to do something nice to celebrate. 18 years ago today, on April 5, 2007, we went on our first date. As special days go, today is a big one. I love her so much, and it all kicked off 18 years ago today. Our relationship is old enough to vote, assuming the u.s. will still have elections… you know… nazis in charge and all. Oh shit, I just brought politics into my happy first-date-aversary message. Fuck me. Sorry about that.
