attended a retirement party for a theatre friend via webcast, which was a lot of fun. lost a favorite bartender, who passed suddenly after surgery. gone too soon.
this pandemic is causing people to do crazy things.... the craziest for me was, out of frustration after going several months without visiting my salon for regular maintenance on my typically short do, I took a pair of craft scissors to myself and whacked off 3+ inches of hot heavy (useless) hair. not bad for a non-professional!
one thing about having virtual connections is now I'm seeing opportunities to watch/listen to our City Council meetings. I also received an invitation to watch a staged reading in honor of Juneteenth, highlighting the struggles that people of color have that whites aren't even aware of, for the most part. very moving, and troubling. it was called Juneteenth Theatre Justice Project: Polar Bears, Black Boys & Prairie Fringed Orchids.
