Thanks for the tease xo (my weeks have been painful due to spinal issues that may need surgery!) Anyway, I forgot to mention that the Tuscan soup was followed by freshly baked Elderberry Pie A La Mode! Plate lickin' good!!!;<p
Just wanted to note a couple of things. First, I love Jason Mraz and completely enjoyed the link you provided today. Secondly, I was among the lucky few (relatively speaking) who have had the privilege of visiting the Rodin mansion, grounds, and museum. I found it to be one of the most rewarding art experiences of my life. Many of his best works are housed outdoors on the spacious grounds, including The Thinker, but many more that I found I liked much better. Then the mansion he acquired and then gave to the state contains so much more art than you would every have believed in such a small building. Found so much was so fascinating and so well housed. It's well worth a full day exploring if one is in Paris.
Oooh…I don’t think I knew the Rodin museum existed. Now on my bucket list…thank you, David! If you ever want to read an intriguing book, I highly recommend Rachel Corbett’s YOU MUST CHANGE YOU LIFE: The Story of Rainer Maria Rilke and Auguste Rodin. Fascinating read!
Hi, David…you’re welcome to email me or use Substack messages. My email is collidepress@gmail.com. Let me know if these are “just between us” photos or ones you’re okay for me to possibly use in upcoming montages. No pressure here…whatever works for you!
Thanks Clint and Auguste Rodin and Happy Birthday Neil Young. 🎵 IMO this is the best ever performance of Rockin In The Free World SNL rehearsal 1989 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwuhk5W3_q0 RT 05:20 🎵 There's one more kid that'll never go to school Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool 🎵
Thanks, Steve. I love me some Armistead and am a proud paid member of his Substack. He and his husband are doing some great work, telling great stories!
Thanks, Alejandro! I’ve been a big fan of Mr. Mraz since I had the pleasure of seeing him live, almost weekly, before he got a record deal. Think tiny coffee shops and good vibes! He’s a super sweet guy and came out as bi a few years ago. Wish I had stayed in touch. :-)
Good reads, good thoughts!! Thanks Clint!!
Thank you, Larry. Hope you’re having a wonderful weeks!

Feel better, Larry…and stop teasing me with dessert. I’m on doctor’s order to lose a few pounds. Like 100. :-p

Is there a way for me to send you some pictures from it? I think you'd enjoy them.

I keep forgetting to mention that Armistead Maupin has a YT channel now. https://www.youtube.com/@barbarylanedispatches I think he's on Substack too. 🏳🌈🌈

Clint, My grandmother had it right, at least about the Chicken Soup! Fondly, Michael
Mmmmm. I could some grandma approved chicken soup. But me and my bestie are going for the next best thing for lunch: pho! Cheers, Michael 🌈✌️
Love this post. Also never heard this song. There is so much hope in its melody. Love it. Thanks for that reminder Clint.
