A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
Robert and … two giant flamingos.

“Robert and … #20
A blog category of pics I’ve taken of HR (Hubby Robert) and … well, just about anything.
We may be back in Slow-vannah after our week trek to New York, but I’m still NYC remembering.
One night we were hanging out at Hush, a tremendously cool gay bar in Hell’s Kitchen.
After wearing out our welcome, we headed to nearby Lucky’s for burgers.
For some reason (the hour at Hush?), Robert was particularly expressive as we awaited our food. Here are half a dozen HR looks.
“These Vagabond Shoes” #2
Daily nerdy notes on our New York getaway.
Seeing Broadway’s ”Company” with Patti Lapone.
Oh. My. Goodness. One of my top five Broadway musicals I’ve ever seen. (Well, I am gay.) All about the crazy expectations we heap upon relationships. (Don’t get HR started.)
After the play, here’s Robert embarrassingly trying to convince me that he could make it in NY as a Radio City Music Hall Rockette.
I finally caught up with HR and calmed him down with some New York pizza. (Pizza always works.)
But just between us, let’s be honest, HR simply couldn’t do those strut kicks.
“These Vagabond Shoes”
Daily nerdy notes on our New York getaway.
Robert and I are in Manhattan for a few days. But before that, we were all cool and hip up in the Catskills seeing grandson Daniel in his drama camp closing show …
Such fun!
Now we’re in Manhattan, pretending to be cosmopolitan and citified, and not provincial Savannahians. But having such trouble because I forgot to just pack all black chic clothing for both of us.
And I bought HR a horse!
More later.
I’m sure you’re holding your breath!
Boastal
Grandson Daniel, who you may remember just finished a run as Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” here in Savannah, is at a three-week drama camp.
I have been sending him silly cards of encouragement. Here is my latest. In order to understand it, you must know that the family dog is named Coastal. (We live in Savannah, next to the Atlantic Ocean, and my daughter’s medical company is called Coastal Care Partners.)
Puppy dog Coastal …
And here’s the card …
Grandfatherly Fun!
Five Friday Happy Bringers 6/17/22
1. HR’s Julia Child-inspired French Hamburger with Mushroom Sauce.
2. Attending last Sunday’s Atlanta Symphony Orchestra to see and hear Conductor/Music Director Robert Spano’s final performance (after two decades). A rousing Mahler’s Symphony #3!
3. Water and our first watermelon of the season.
4. Our living room sunflower.
5. And our gay bamboo!
Hope you have a weekend to be proud of.
Five Friday Happy Bringers 6/9/22
1. HR coming down some stairs at the Gibbes Museum of Art in Charleston.
2. Always having enough food to eat.
3. Grandson Daniel on closing night of a three-week run as Joseph in “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat” here in Savannah. Robert and I gave him a poster listing all the colors in his coat (from lyrics in one of the songs)
4. Excitement about the wonderful possibility of very soon here in Georgia having the nation’s first black female governor. But more important than that incredible first, having the indisputable best candidate win back Georgia for the good of our state.
[A not-so-happy sidenote: Yesterday someone keyed the side of our car near the Abrams’ decal. The battle for Georgia’s soul is not pretty.]
5. The joyful beauty of looking up.
Hope you see a beautiful weekend ahead.
Happy Pride Month #2
