Bella Vista Bella Vista, in the end, is about fatherhood. About fathers and sons. It’ s about one father, Frank Pershall, how he went from a dope smoking car aficionado to a businessman. About how this businessman hatched a scheme to pry his son, Jay away from his Mom, who was developing a habit of drugs and staying out late, and generally being out of it most of the time, and how that father convinced his son to move down to Florida with him. But as soon as they get there, all that high and mighty “ I’ ll be a better father to you” breaks down because the first day they arrive at this house at this vision his father has for life known as Bella Vista, only then does he choose to turn the care of his son over to his Limo Driver, Cliff. Yes, all of a sudden Dad has all of this money that he tells his son comes from venture capitalists and this new business he is starting. Cliff drives people around for a living, and it is in this Limo Jay learns to carve out a life for himself away from his father, and to finally live life on his own terms.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last.

Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

Space Cowboy How a recent adult ADHD diagnosis ties my past to my present

kronski.substack.com/p/space-cowboy

I was diagnosed with adult ADHD last year, and it helped to explain so much of what I have experienced over the years. I post this for those who are going through the same.

Just a reminder about the level of connection that slowly trickles in when one ceases to consume alcohol. Four years later I am gobsmacked at the depth and ease of my connections with all of the people in my daily life. It’s so worth it.

The joy glimmer of a week where CPAP sleep becomes semi normalized, you attend your high school prom date's wedding reception in a below ground gay bar, between the slam and squeeze of work projects you manage to eek out a written piece revealing who you really are to a roomful of strangers: Mwah!

Now Playing: At almost 40 years late to the party, I am currently finding solace in Talking Heads Stop Making Sense. It's music as companion in a way I haven't felt since I was a lot younger. #talkingheads #nowplaying #stopmakingsense
