(00:09):
I got a bite. What doyou mean aware up there? This is
touching base with Rod Downey, andtoday I'm touching base with David on his
quirky new independent comedy he's working on. David, what can you tell us
(00:32):
about your new film? A mannever expects to find his voice through the
story of two teenage girls. Butthis story is one we can all relate
to and both as simplicity and astuteobservations of the banality of coming of age.
And as a filmmaker, it's myjob to present those observations in a
way that is simultaneously edible and insightful. Now, what these girls have done
(00:53):
is just to exist authentically, butexists nonetheless in a way though it causes
us all to perhaps pause and reflecton our existence and how the ways in
which we exist impact our immediate worlds. For me, this is very much
about finding those complexities in the banal, to look deeper, to find humanity
in the things we consider foolish.I remember hearing about that. So you
(02:09):
mean to tell me Paul took upwith Patty during your arrest. I just
don't understand what has happened to Americanvalues anymore. I do used to mean
a whole lot more than it doesnow. It seems to me that nowadays
I do is more like I supposeI do until it's no longer convenient for
(02:30):
me. If you don't mind mysaying, getting arrested and incarcerated is very
extreme. To each his own Iguess I've never even been pulled over.
Jackie and I are taking a weekendtrip to Sedona. Over the weekend.
I will let her know you saidhello. The girls do not have any
(02:53):
children. They keep talking about havingone. I really don't understand how any
of that works. I have toadmit I'm having a hard time getting Misty's
pet portrait. I found one placethat seemed like they could do it,
but when I brought in a photoof Misty, they were just going to
(03:14):
draw Misty as she was in thephoto. I already have that photo of
Misty. I want Misty's portrait tobe unique. I'm bringing a few different
photos of Misty up to Sedona,just in case there's a good pet artists
there. Dot. I was lookingthrough your Facebook picks the other day and
(03:36):
I found one of your daughter andher partner. They are very lovely girls.
I would like to have a grandchildone day. That's not up to
me. Though. After some consideration, I've decided to move back to Arizona.
I really enjoy the weather here,but it's just so expensive, and
(03:58):
my kids left the area while back, so there's no real reason to stay.
I haven't made many friends. Idon't like to go out much.
My daughter goes to Sedona frequently.She says it has good energy. She
does a yoga retreat there sometimes too. I don't care for Sdona. It
(04:19):
is a very beautiful place, butit is also too hippy dippy there.
I don't care about crystals, ameditation, or any of that garbage.
There's a really great restaurant there righton the river called Cress on Oak Creek.
Really good food and views too.Jackie and I had a wonderful time
(04:42):
in Sedona. I don't care forall of that spirituality mumbo jumbo either.
I like the art there in thescenery. Jackie likes to church build into
the mountain. Every time we go. She just has to see that church.
The Cress restaurant it was very nice, but too expensive for me.
I don't care to spend that kindof money on food. You just eat
(05:05):
it. I prefer to spend mymoney on art and antiques. The best
part of our visit is that Ifound someone to do a pet portrait of
Misty. She took several of myphotos and said she could pay a unique
portrait of Misty to commemorate her life, and I really think she will.
(05:26):
Now. I just need to figureout where to put it once it's finished.
If you're back in the area bythe time Misty's portrait is done,
you should join Jackie and I backup to Sedona to pick it up.
October twelfth, twenty fifteen. I'mso excited. I have about eleven blog
(05:46):
posts in my head that will soonbe in my blood. Going to altitude
hills and bike able cities, closelongtime friends and close short time friends,
bicycling with a wide open smile.What is a co op? My local
yarn store, good times with closefriends, my crochet pans, great food
(06:14):
made with beets, pink is thefood yarning up a storm, the season
and what makes the season special.Time changes. It's another beautiful day,
So instead of wrapping my brain aroundwriting and formatting a blog post, I'm
out there for one last day ofglorious blue sky and yellow leaves and maybe
(06:34):
an ice cream cone. Because I'vebeen good and you q you are what's
up in your world? Maybe Ishould write a blog about the blogs I
read when I'm looking for inspiration towrite my own blogs. September ninth,
two thousand fourteen. A great newafghan or relationship advice and it's off the
(06:58):
hook, assembled and complete, mybrand new afghan finished. I've blocked about
this piece just days ago, andbefore that a few other times. What
to say now? Perhaps in photoshoot like we all enjoy, or at
least I enjoy with the indulgence ofmy family. Gregg is responsible for this
collection of yarn goddess photos in theback yard with me modeling the afghan as
(07:20):
wrap and cape. Once in awhile I start to wonder if we ham
it up for the camera a littletoo much. After all, some of
us are not getting any younger.Then again, none of us are.
It's terrific fun, especially for theself absorbed. I'd also dare any of
you q rs to do the same. Why not in this photoshoop, I'm
(07:43):
rustling up the attention of my longsuffering hubby. One of the remedies to
long term relationship blues is to simplyask for attention. I ask for attention
all the time. It's so easyfor us to focus lots of energy on
others, on kids, on pets, on work, on house, and
forget about each other. And soon a Friday morning, when I ask
my hobby to take a few extraminutes to shoot these photos of me modeling
(08:05):
my new afghan, I'm asking forattention, interaction, a laugh for two,
and, thanks to the technology,a memory. Somebody warned me in
an earlier post that this afghan istoo gorgeous to not convert to a wearable
item. Now that it's finished,I agree, and have I got the
(08:26):
best idea. It'll be my littlesecret for now, but trust me when
I say it's revolutionary. It isone hundred percent worsted wool. It's soft,
not too scratchy, and it's alsowarm. The best blankets are always
warm. I'm fond of the colorschartreuse, coral, black, gray,
(08:48):
white, aqua, and magenta.Great mid century colors, still very classic
today. I'm wild about the classicvintage detail with a modern detail. In
this case, the whole set uplooks hopelessly modern. This afghan has obviously
time traveled to today and got stuckin a photo shoot and an outdoor seasonal
affair. And to quote the photographer, I like seeing you argue with the
(09:13):
camera. There is usually a fairamount of arguing between me and the camera
in the next session of yarn madness. Nobody knows what will happen, but
there is a small chance that itwill be painstaking, unique and possessed bits
of whimsy. March fifth, twentythirteen, The Berkeley Bull qf's. Have
(09:35):
any of you ever tried this?It's called a kind bar, which is
kind of a great name for sucha healthy treat. It's not too too
healthy, but it's healthy enough totreat yourself with from time to time.
I have always enjoyed the occasional proteinand healthy bar. I think I started
buying these little pouches of bars atthe infamous Berkeley Bull back in the late
eighties, back when I first movedto California and I was living in a
(09:58):
little house of an eighteen year old. I had already established a mostly vegetarian
eating style, but this was myfirst foray into living and feeding and taking
care of myself completely independently. Iremember how amazing. The Berkeley Bull was
what with so many varieties of grownfood, such a vast selection of breads,
(10:18):
bulk items, butcher fish, cheese, and more. The Berkeley Bull
was amazing, but it was alsoincredibly overwhelming. But it is where my
lifelong relationship with food launched. WheneverI returned to Berkeley, I always returned
to the Berkeley Bowl. At first, I lived within walking distance of the
(10:39):
Berkeley Bull. I would walk tothe Berkeley Bull at least five times in
a week. Then I had toleave that little house. It's a long
story. I'll share it with yousometime, but now is not the time.
Now is about the Berkeley Bull andhow the Berkeley Bull was the first
step of many steps to be healthy, wealthy, and wise in my food
choice. Your first step, ifyou're thinking about taking a first step,
(11:03):
should be to take that first steptoward the direction of your local co op.
Sy Bride and Christmas Day, that'sthe island breeding that we said to
you Christmas probe red Ellen. Isthat you and your sister? It is
(11:41):
she looks so grown up, well, Patty, she is. She has
grown up a lot since she wassixteen. I guess time flies when you're
too busy taking care of yourself.You are both such beautiful girls. These
are photographs from our unity ceremony.It was a lovely event. So many
(12:05):
people ask if the harmonium player wasEllen. She was not, but she
could have easily been a doppelganger.She was just as beautiful. Ellen and
her sister could not attend the Unityceremony because our spirits have not been aligned
(12:26):
as of late. Mother has carvedso many different paths for each of us,
and only we can navigate them withour hearts, to the special places
where unity can overcome external conflict thatharbors within. The goats and the children
were very happy to be a partof the ceremony. Helena, you look
(12:52):
gorgeous in this pick. Those mustbe your daughters. Who's that big guy?
How have you been? We missedyou in Sedona. I bet you've
been busy with all that unpacking.Jackie is coming over for dinner next Tuesday.
You should join us. I wouldlove to show you my misty portrait.
(13:15):
Hey, it's me Agan. Ihave gone into another rabbit hole.
I've been up all night Facebook stockingagain. This is starting to feel mildly
unhealthy, but I've been looking intothis other possible Karen that I found,
and I know you're pretty married tocrochet pans at this point, but I
(13:39):
think my Karen could be the Karenor a Karen. I was going through
fish Ellen's Facebook and I stumbled uponher mom, who, by the way,
is kind of hilarious. She andthis friend of hers just comment NonStop
(14:01):
on everything, but they're not commentsso much as like random conversations. Good
morning Dot. I just finished wipingdown the counters in the kitchen. Some
days it feels like that's all I'llever get around to doing. I did
bake a hand the other day froma recipe I got off the internet.
(14:22):
It was mostly dry, though weold birds should just stick to our cookbooks.
I guess looks like I will bein Tucson on the fourteenth to see
Susie. She's had a hard timeof things since the Big D. I
am not a good communicator in general, and definitely not on the Internet.
(14:43):
In fact, I totally dislike usingthe computer. I receive so many emails
that it seems all I'll ever dois answer emails when I use the computer.
I am not sure why I signedup on the Facebook most likely get
off real soon. I really don'tlike to spend most of my time on
(15:05):
the internet. I think it's unhealthy. It's probably giving us all cancer.
But it's the only way I cansee picks of my girls because they live
so far away from me. Anyway, So her friend dot had commented on
this photo of the mother, Helenais her name with her kids. The
(15:28):
big guy is my son in law, fish Ellen, and then her other
daughter, and then her daughter's husband. And here's the thing, I guess
where her other daughter and her sonin law work. He and my youngest
are both in the Coast God andthey live in Honolulu. My oldest is
(15:50):
in Seattle and she has a ownsmall business doing yoga and therapy. I
miss seeing them terribly, but thatis the way it is. Have a
good Sunday, and perhaps we canmeet when I return from Tucson. Best
Helena the Coast Guard. And thenin another post, she mentions that they
(16:14):
used to live and work in Oaklandand Seattle, but have since been stationed
in Honolulu, which we're now callingher Aloha Karen. So I started looking
into Aloha Karen and her husband.I can't trace either of them. Back
to the cottage. But in nineteeneighty nine, I have Aloha Karen's husband
(16:37):
and fish Ellen signing a lease togetherin Seattle, so like right after they
would have moved out of the cottage. And at first I thought it was
kind of weird that it was fishEllen and Aloha Karen's husband, and Aloha
Karen isn't on the lease, butthen I realized it's because Aloha Karen hadn't
(16:57):
turned eighteen yet. She turned eighteenlater in nineteen eighty nine, which if
she is our Karen, might explainwhy she wasn't on the Oakland lease.
But so before I go any further, there are two pretty big arguments against
Aloha Karen being our Karen. ButI want you to suspend disbelief for just
(17:22):
a minute and bear with me.And I think it's fair to say that
a lot of these letters have beenexaggerated. So let's just pretend for a
moment that Mark made up these twodetails. Aloha Karen and her husband do
not have any kids. And thenalso, Aloha Karen's mother is obviously very
(17:48):
much alive, but they all livetogether with fish Ellen. Immediately following when
Karen and Ellen left the Oakland House, and they worked for the Coastguard,
and I looked even further into him. He was working for the Coast Guard
and stationed in Alameda in nineteen eightyseven. Alameda is the town directly next
(18:15):
to Oakland at just like it seemslike way too many coincidences, Sharon,
We're in Mississippi here. We're herefor the week, visiting my husband's family.
This is the beach down in Biloxi. It's nice, but nothing like
the beach is back home. Mississippiis nothing like back home. We're taking
(18:37):
our niece and nephews to a gatorfarm today. I just don't understand why
anyone would want to spend a dayin the swamp looking at alligators. But
that's just what people do down here. And also, her Facebook is shock
full of karenisms. Hawaii can bea very confusing place sometimes, like how
can I be in America but alsoan a And if Honolulu is the capital,
(19:02):
which is also a city, andHawaii is this state, then what
does that make Oahu? Do youthink if they grew the ConA coffee beans
with the sugar cane plants that theConA coffee would taste sweeter or is that
why ConA coffee is already so sweet? Maybe they grow up with the sugar
cane plants. So what if Karenand Ellen are sisters? There was something
(20:00):
trying to still my change. Ihave cold, feel a breath on.
Someday I'll shower clown enough to makethem mounche and play. Now we're beauty
and be gay. Say what youplease. There was something trying to still
(20:21):
my chains. Iuld feel a breathon. Someday I'll shower clown enough to
make them monche and play. Nowwe're beauty and be gay
I got a bite. What doyou mean aware up there? This is
