Waiting. Not with Beckett. Just waiting.
My First Morning In Afghanistan
Early autumn, 1968. My Peace Corps group arrived in Kabul the evening before. When I arose the next morning and looked out the hotel window, this is what I saw. School girls.
Beirut
I remember when Beirut was the Paris of the east.
Persepolis
1969
Memories are
Not all things in life are certain–memories are

When this is over…
A friend recently said of the stay inside routine, “When this is over I’m going to have to join a gym and AA.”
Have a nice day!
Remember when “have a nice day” was the default “goodbye?” Now it is “stay safe”
Taxes
Tax day has been moved to July 15. I’m going to wait until the government declares that we pay no taxes this year

“Ooh, let’s try this. If I do this, you do that.” And we would just do it.
I won an Emmy on a Sunday night, and Tuesday at 9:30 in the morning, I was showing butt crack walking down the street. But the transition was frighteningly easy. Jim [Carrey] and I had met a couple times in the months leading up to [production], but we hadn’t done anything, so we just started shooting. Jim would just go, “Ooh, let’s try this. If I do this, you do that.” And we would just do it.
