Dear Hildie:

 

More tinkering with my refurbished draft. Really has to be completely redone. Out of 365 pages I may be able to use 20.

 

Went to the post office yesterday and the stamp machine wouldn’t work, so I had to stand in line. The woman behind me said, “Nothing here works.” Amen. The clerk at the window told me to have a “blessed” day. I don’t know where this particular expression has come from but it seems to be all over the place now. A subtle way of injecting religion into everything.

 

Just read some stuff about the late Scalia. God, what an intellectually dishonest character. And such a condescending bastard, too. Thought anybody who didn’t believe what he did was a fool and told them so.

 

Take care. Have a blessed day.

 

Love,

M
