This summer was a scary one with all the wild fires in So. Cal. I am worried about what all the ash/smoke did to my lungs. The back room’s windowsill is a black example of what was in the air. But whatisonegoingtodo? Couldn't lock myself in a plastic bubble.
My old flame, Paul Mantee, has lived in Malibu for many years. He and his wife had to evacuate in the Sept. fire and thank God they didn’t go up in flames. His home was destroyed in the ’90 (?) Malibu fire. I am so happy they got thru.
Speaking of my lungs, I checked w/my doctor, asking her if she thot high altitudes would be detrimental to me, as in going to So. America. She told me there is a prescription drug I could begin a few days before I am to go to a high altitude. Didn’t think it would be a problem.
And, it looks like El will not be going with me. I have some options which I will exercise. More as they develop. Dana and Monica do not think they can go, darn!
Jen turned me onto a blog by an American woman who lives in France and is married to a Frenchman. She’s a travel writer and a gourmet cook. She writes in her blog EVERY DAY. God, I am so lazy… Anyway, I forwarded the info to Sue LaCabe, as I’m sure she’d be interested.
BFF Pat is in Venice, due home in a few days. I am eager to hear how she enjoyed. She went with Daughter Chris, her husband’s daughter. Chris has been there many times and speaks fluent Italian.
Patrck and I went to see the movie Into the Wild the other day. Even tho I’d read the book several years ago, I found the movie very disturbing. What a waste of a very intelligent and idealistic young man who had so much potential. Thru his innocent and ill informed travels to the north he sacrificed so very much. Of course I regard his choices as a mother who loves her children. So I think he was very wrong to do what he did.
Well, he's in a better place, as they say...
