Senator Eavis: Gregory Hirsch, executive assistant to Tom Wamsgans, correct?
Greg: Yes. Yes, if it is to be said.
Eavis: I’m sorry?
Greg: Uh, if it is to be said, so it be, so it is.
Eavis: Are you all right?
Greg: Uh, yes. Uh, I merely wish to answer in the affirmative fashion.
Eavis: You can speak to us normally.
Greg: Oh, no — thank you, sir. Uh, uh, so I shall.
-Succession, Season 2, Episode 9
Succession is over and that leaves me with one less distraction from my own creative pursuits and productive activities. What am I supposed to do now? Write/meditate/read/plan/etc?!?!!? I’d rather live a cortisol drenched existence where I struggle to keep up and wonder where the hours/minutes/seconds went thank you very much.
This post-pandemic live is busy though! All good things. Been lucky to see friends, go to shows, enjoy the beautiful weather, and also relax some. Was May busy for you? Reply to this message and let me know RIGHT NOW.
Ok ok onto the content and recs and such. Luv u!

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATION
SUMMER IS ALMOST UPON US. Generally, I’m happy about this. One thing I need to adjust every summer is my hydration habit. I usually don’t drink any water when I leave the house because I don’t like to use public bathrooms. It’s dangerous, but it works. No can do in the summer though, especially the unforgiving and brutal NYC summer. So rest assured, I will drink tons of water, but I will also have these on hand to boost hydration even more. They are delicious and Raspberry Salt is my favorite.

BOOK RECOMMENDATION
Westboro Baptist Church? Yikes doesn’t begin to cover it. That said, I strongly recommend anyone and everyone read: Unfollow: A Memoir of Loving and Leaving the Westboro Baptist Church. It’s rough. It’s also VERY well written and Megan Phelps-Roper is very talented. It’s an excellent telling of life on the inside and is both heartbreaking and hopeful!

Dreams do come true
Before May comes to an official close, let me share with you this AMAZING experience I got to have. Friend of the BLUGH, Miley, came up to New York to support her sister in the Westminster Dog Agility competition and I got to go and watch and support. It was amazing and I am so grateful that Leslie and her pup, Mach Molly (please include Mach in her title at all times) made it to Westminster so I could live my dream of being surrounded by dogs for a full day.
