      • My graduate work was on prostitution in mining camps of the American West. Most of the information came from Butte, Montana. However, some of it came from Jerome.

        • I was into immigration and ethnic regionalism. I remember reading some interesting diaries, etc., regarding Butte! Yes, Jerome loves to romanticize the role of the prostitute here. My character in my novel stays at a boarding house run by her aunt. The character, Sally, is not a prostitute but she’s a dancer at the Jerome Theater. Jerome was the happening place to be in 1927. Anyway, Interesting!

  19. Did you take the pictures? Gorgeous! Arizona looks like a place I want to visit. I live in Maine so it all feels alien to me. Anyhow, hope you are enjoying the holidays.

      • “These are outside my door.” WOW! That’s awesome. You lucky lady! Isn’t Machias near the Canadian border? I haven’t been there yet. I live in Brunswick, near the Bowdoin College.

Words I take to heart

Do what you feel in your heart to be right- for you’ll be criticized anyway. You’ll be damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. –Eleanor Roosevelt

Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing. –Benjamin Franklin

If opportunity doesn’t knock, build a door.–Milton Berle

Don’t judge each day by the harvest you reap but by the seeds that you plant. — Robert Louis Stevenson

“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” –Teddy Roosevelt

I miss Gene Kelly.
West Side Story. Best Film Ever? No, but darn close.

Just because you’re paranoid doesn’t mean they aren’t after you.
Marlon Brando. On the Waterfront. Best ever? Yep.
I’d rather be outside than in.
