I’m Thinking of Not Watching the News Tonight
That’s my plan. Four years ago I had to take a Xanax and even then we didn’t know who won the election until that weekend. I remember hearing the spontaneous celebrations ringing through the canyon that divides Los Feliz and Silverlake. We walked down to Sunset Junction and joined an impromp…
