She was too young for me but she was enchanting. I think we might have had a date once. Or maybe we just exchanged letters.

“You wrote her letters?” “Mail. It was called mail” 💌. JOE: My father is getting married again. For five years, he’s been living with a woman named Gillian who studied decorating at Caesar’s Palace. Is it porcelain? Rubber. KATHLEEN: Once I read a story about a butterfly in the subway, and today I saw one. It got on at 42nd and off at 59th where I assume it went to Bloomingdale’s to buy a hat that will turn out to be a mistake. As almost all hats are. 🦋 JOE: Listen to this: Every night a truck pulls up to my neighborhood bagel place and pumps about a ton of flour into underground tanks. The air is filled with white dust which never seems to land. Why is that? KATHLEEN: Confession: I’ve read Pride and Prejudice about 200 times. I get lost in the language. Words like: “Thither.“ “Mischance.“ “Felicity.“ I’m always in agony over whether Elizabeth and Mr. Darcy are really going to get together. Read it. I know you’ll love it. JOE: The purpose of places like Starbucks is for people with no decision-making ability to make six decisions just to buy one cup of coffee. Short, tall, light, dark, caf, decaf, low-fat, nonfat, et cetera. Mocha frappuccino grande. So people who don’t know what the hell they’re doing or who on earth they are, can, for only get not just a cup of coffee but an absolutely defining sense of self. Tall! Decaf! Cappuccino! Tall, decaf cappuccino. ☕️
