We used to live opposite Lulu’s Brown Owl. And I once went out with Engelbert Humperdinck’s cousin. #myglamorouslife

The eye of God My doctor sends me to Brooklyn for an abdominal aortic aneurysm screening. As instructed, I fast for six hours beforehand. I don’t even brush my teeth, for fear of swallowing toothpaste and screwing up the test. I war a Covid-era face mask to avoid breathing on anyone. The journey takes me to Boro Hall, a part of the city I’d not explored before.

My Glamorous Life: The Unexpected Samples If you’ve never fallen gently asleep to jazz ballads, only to sit bolt upright because a horse is shrilly whinnying in your ears, you should try it some time.

Fact: it’s easier to clean stalls in 4 degree temps because the turds are frozen solid. #FarmLife #ColdAsBalls #MyGlamorousLife

Slightly after dawn, Jasper did something very smart (but also quite disgusting). Set aside your coffee and crumpets while I tell the tale.

Jasper the kitten, now nearly a year old, relaxing on his special blanket on my bed. In the background, an electric fan, a tall scratching post, a vacuum cleaner, and a Yamaha electric keyboard are visible.

“I enjoy tackling unexpected little handyman jobs, even deeply unglamorous ones, first thing in the morning.”
