Michel and Sarah's Excellent Adventures

A stylist came over to look into my closet and sort the good, the bad, and the ugly. It has been said that this stylist makes fun of clothes if it is necessary. Michel needs no help. He is perfect. See pic. Only thing is he was dressed like that when we went camping. Once, not that long ago, I was standing on the corner of Milwaukee and Wolcott, in Chicago, waiting for a taco to go. These two ladies approached me and asked, "Do you work here?" I said yes, because I worked on that block. They said, "So do we. Aren't they cracking down lately?" I almost fainted. They told me I could walk with them and work with them. They told me that customers often liked a black girl and a white girl. (They were black.) It was popular, they said, the combo pack. I excused myself after our five minute meeting that included a lot of terminology that I was not familiar with. I ran home, crying and laughing at the same time. So if that is not a reason to have a stylist, w...

The plot of our first adventure featured people cheating on each other, or trying to.  Some young teenaged boy reading a letter of his rude feelings to a grown-ass woman. The woman disrobes him, dresses him in drag, disrobes him again. Her husband knocks, so the teenager jumps out a window. Here is the link of the teenager singing about his gross teenage feelings https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GfxiEhFust4 The role of the teenaged boy is traditionally played by a woman, for the higher voice and smaller size. But at first I thought Mozart was very progressive and that it was a woman that kept sneaking in to women's rooms and professing her feelings. I accept that Mozart is a genius after seeing "The Marriage of Figaro" On Sunday, Grace, her mom, a friend and I saw Patti Smith talk about her new book.

Michel and I volunteered at a homeless shelter. It was our first time. We signed up for the dinner shift. It was in the basement of a church in Berwyn. Almost every person I told after had already done it and PADS has it down to every detail. I am not sure how its funded. I will ask. We got there at the appointed time and were introduced to a woman who was the "site captain" I said "Cool" she said "No it really isn't. She told us to sit down and relax as the doors would not open for some time. She sat next to us and played "candy crush saga" as we watched from around her shoulder. Someone had already laid out mattresses with sheets folded on top of them. And taken out all the plastic serving utensils. I thought we would cook but someone shows up with a hot tray of Mostaccioli at just the right time. When the doors opened ten people immediately came in. It was hard to tell the homeless from just more volunteers. The homeless all knew what to d...
