The tribes have a lot in common

I’ve been thinking a lot about friendship lately because I recently turned seventy and was considering throwing a big birthday party

I’d much rather measure out my life with coffee spoons than coke spoons like aging rockers the world over

There are writers and journalists who get public recognition all the time. Alas, I’m not one

I meant to experience Beauty. Wonder. Awe and all that jouissance jazz. Instead I’m thinking: help!
