So the journey begins. This weird section of my life took a wacky turn for the West a couple of years ago. The reasons why are too ridiculous to share. Or are they? A dream squashed? Get a new dream, I always say.
Oh wait, now I remember: Tucson was going to be something about an oasis where chronic pain has no passport. And Lew could finally get the much-deserved respite from the harried NYC world in which he "lived" for far too many years.
So, one out of two ain't bad, right? So the pain is still here, at least Lew has taken this temporary way-station as something akin to a grand experiment. Where anything can happen. It's just that we both are of singular mind when it comes to this spot. Where once two giddy souls were agog at the sight of a 2-dimensional pig, now we don't bother to count the incessant hummingbirds. Pretty jaded, aren't we? Nah, just realists,
Just not feeling it anymore. Who can say how things will play out? That's why we have choices and make decisions. You never fail when you take a chance. Life is lived far too seriously, and we're here to let you know: Lighten Up! Everything is only for now, yada yada.
Meanwhile, Lew wrote the book he's been thinking about for umpteen years. Talk about accomplishment! Of course, the waiting for a smart agent to take advantage of a former NYT editor and his amazing memory and dexterity with words, is driving him nuts.
And my quest has become more spiritual, even though I love reading gossip and sometimes contribute to it (here comes a plug) via www.thewrap.com (look for me under guest blogs unless you think opinionated columns are heresy.
Sometimes my aim is rewarded the next day with publication, sometimes it's not. BFD, I have you now to be absurd with, make jokes for and complain about the dearth of original movies.
In between, I'll offer my take on this odd little town called Tucson. They can't even spell it right. Sheesh.
Tomorrow, there will be more.
