That does sound like an amazing live theatre experience, Brenda!
Y'all see the man hanging out of the spaceship with the really big gun? Now I'm not saying you weren't easy to find. It was kinda out of our way, and he didn't want to come in the first place. Man's lookin' to kill some folk. So really it's his will y'all should worry about thwarting.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That sounds wonderful, brenda!

I haven't trusted science since I saw the film "Flubber."
I loved the Tate Modern when I was in London. A very long time ago.

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Because books.
brenda! That evening is absolute Goals.
Amy, great to see you! How are you?
I'm okayish. My job is sucking a little less. The dog had a sarcoma removed from her leg, and the cancer hadn't spread anywhere else, Sara turned 21 (?!), Ben got a promotion and continues to be the pillar we all lean on, and my mom is loving the shows I've introduced her to (The Good Place, Man on the Inside, The White Lotus, Only Murders).
I'm just lonely. And trying to be informed and not explode with rage and/or despair simultaneously.

Now tagless for your comfort.
A beefeater flirted with me when I visited the tower. He kept commenting on my violent red hair and when he asked me where I was from, like an idiot, I said, “America.” To which he grinned and asked, “Where?” When I told him Ohio he nodded and said, “Aye, Indians.”
I really wish I was with brenda in London.

'we all walk this earth feeling we are frauds. The trick is to be grateful and hope the caper doesn't end any time soon"
I gave myself Brownie Points today for a good suggestion -- Programs at work had one of the presenters cancel, so they were looking for a good documentary to fill the space, so I suggested "Strange Fruit" (about the poem/song/lynching background) one that was on American Experience a few years back, since it seemed On Topic for this month (and year).
It's available for free on Kanopy, which is a free streaming service offered through many libraries.
So it was much appreciated.

That is a great idea, Theo!

It does feel like I handed a relay baton to brenda.
