My lifelong Republican father — whom I used to have shouting matches at the dinner table with over Obama and democrats supposedly socialist policies and so on — voted for Kamala Harris today.
In Colorado.
Please clap.
favorite story about a legendary TV Director I played some ping pong with once:
While sitting at the monitor, she got a very brash note from one of the network heads seated behind her.
“She’s too shrill. Tell her to tone it down.”
So she gets up and walks over to the actress…
a legendary gaffer carried a clothespin in his pocket and when he got stupid lighting notes, would "put up another light", then sit at the monitor w/ the note giver and snap the pin at his side saying "on, off. on, off. which one?" they'd answer, he'd smile and say "good choice"
And says, “hey so I just got a really stupid network note, and it’s completely wrong, so I just want you to know you’re doing a great job and you should nod in agreement right now because they’re watching me talk to you.”
The actress smiles and nods.
She returns to the monitor.
my Mom and I talked about this book all the time while I was helping take care of her with terminal cancer. We all end up in diapers, and if we’re lucky, surrounded by loved ones.
