i read that hillbilly elegies the movie was not as bad as the book in fact that the movie maker opie ron howard, left out the insidious politics of the book. the book came out with trump, the movie came out with the not-trump. so give it a chance, and peace, kids. 

considering i got about 3 hours sleep from candy and anxiety and bizarro dreams today's a purty gud day. bear was soul sweet and no limpy and i felt huggy with all the dogs starting with caboose followed by jasper and albert and ronan and the dear blonde lab whose name i forget. 

i talked with an artist who lived by me in my former incarnation in ukrainian village. it was weird reminiscing and forgetting the names but remembering things in an easy way not fretting overly falling into the past, my heart steady in the now, feeling the difficult passages as a layer below silt, and contoured by current time. 

and lulu, oh my dog in heaven, mister, i could hug her right now, and for her own self, even though now i'm recalling hugging my golden bear mister too.
