Unfortunately, the unpleasant things I alluded to last week did not let up as the week continued; if anything, they got even worse, and I’m still not really at liberty to discuss them. Plus, the necessity of discussing taxes with my CPA reared its ugly head, and since it seems they’ve assigned a new girl to the account, I’m going to have to hurt her feelings pretty soon by telling her I’m a whore. On the bright side, I did have a couple of especially-enjoyable sessions, made a new friend, added a few new things to my Amazon wishlist, received my copy of my friend Brooke Magnanti’s new book, and saw the release of a podcast I did a few weeks ago with attorney Mirriam Seddiq. Mirriam was a lot of fun to work with, and though I haven’t listened to the recording yet, I’m told that fun comes through to the listener. That’s really all I have to share for now, but don’t worry; as those who’ve been reading this blog for a while know, things absolutely never stay quiet for long.

My TweetsBoring but necessary legal stuff
Well, I really enjoyed The Turning Tide and I hope you will too. I was a bit uncertain when I read the words “gurney” and “morgue” on the blurb, but it’s actually written in proper English (=British) with British spelling. There are some lovely, delicious barbed remarks about various species of pond life, journos and politicos, who are distinctly British and which you might not fully get; they are slightly fictionalised, but very recognisable. And, Maggie, you do get a mention at the very end!
I just listened to the podcast. A nice interview, one of your best I think. I especially enjoyed your description of legalization as “still criminal” but with exceptions and your characterization of the brothels in Nevada as holding a “pimp license.”
Must say I enjoyed your interview with Mirriam. I love how you connected the dots regarding women’s voting rights beginning in western states. So many people never get that point.
