i was looking at 5 book reviews including the new gretel erlich which i got and r. promptly snatched and i saw bette howland's w-3 and got intrigued. my queue was full and so was my queue on r.'s card, so i looked for something to delete and i read a review of the iranian film downpour and realized that it was on the same release as soleil ô. i deleted downpour and got w-3. r. came in and asked watcha doin and i told her and she said bette howland was r.'s uncle howie's first wife, who was in a mental hospital in chicago and wrote w-3 her memoir in 1974.

meanwhile jasper is back to barfing his breakfast again. shari said it's not related to his ear infection and the vet didn't enlighten us and then turned in a blank report, so, jasper is still involved in an internal mystery. we might take him to dr. jewel.

post dat. i just found an article on bette howland in uchicago magazine by the person i rent my studio from. i wonder what next.

post dat. what next is bette howland's two sons are coming to an event at hyde park historical society next month and i'm getting an invitation.
