I do recall your long running captivation with The Bachelor, though I have never indulged in an episode. I'm not sure if it is because I left the TV behind in 97/98 when I moved to NYC and next obtained one for my 2010 SF pad when told to do so by my managing acting coach. Or, that the dating thing never really worked out enough for me that I would want to watch someone else go through it, unless I was rooting for a friend. Maybe if you were on the bachelor??? Dating is only something I dare attempt within a year or more of spacing. Even when Aynne convinced me to try it, I drew the line quickly because it felt like picking from a phone book. Having turned 50 in September, it feels no easier, though I do get the learning experience aspect. There was a filter I set in NYC after the dissolution of an unspoken love triangle, then decided in 2016 to put it on the shelf because perhaps I was in harsh monovision. It landed me wrecked, standing in the cloud of smoke from the toasting by my internal defense dragon. Those lessons do have value! Perhaps I was being inpatient, and gave up. It was then I learned the importance of the lessons. Now recovered and wiser! … Will check out the recommended book! My head has been deep in Greek mythology lately, and romance wonderfully thrives in the fiction of fragmented scenes I note. Oh how I do love indulging in my imagination! And, thank you for the copy of the "Shakespeare In Love" screenplay you gave me one holiday. I still have it, now packed with the other boxes prepared for relocating. I have watched that film many times repeatedly before you gave it to me. In fact, it was the first blu-ray I bought when I acquired the TV. When I next unpack in SoCal or maybe even back to my old neighborhood of Gramercy Park, I look forward to reading it again. Cheers and hugs to you, love!!

"The Crane Wife" is so damn good. I've gone back to it so many times since that session.
Thanks for introducing C. J. Hauser to me, Alicia! Will be adding her writings to my Ray Bradbury Challenge - https://fictitious.substack.com/p/fictitious-vol-17-3000-things-to
