solid platinum

ok, so in searching for the next bookclub book i chanced upon a david sedaris collection of short semi-biographical pieces called naked....and headed out to the deck to savor his raucous humor while i still had the house to myself.....the phone rang.....and i fumbled for the business card that had earlier fallen out from the paperback to save my place.......note......i did not turn down a page, as is my usual naughty way to find my way back to the last read passage........and returning to my place......i likewise chanced upon the writing on the card........solidplatinum.com.....and a map to the lexington location....somewhere off of new circle road........and then i laughed out loud........the guffaw of the truly amused........because there were so many possibilities as to where the card had come from........i am really not sure whose book it is......probably the eldest child's as i found it in the stash he brought back home at some point........but he is not yet 21....and unless he has a fake i.d. this card didn't come to him first hand.......but then again.....don't all mothers want to believe that their children would never go to places where women dance nude....places that now conjure up the club in lost in translation.......a dance club likely to be much more tasteful than the one in question.........but back to david sedaris......i enjoy his take on life......and his style especially.....he writes with perfect abandon about the intimate and probably accurate antics/foibles of his family......first names and all.....and he has been so successful at the shameless/shameful exposure of his family to world scrutiny that he actually lives out my fantasy.....a paris apartment and worldwide travel.......hmmm........maybe i have not been shameful enough with this blog....maybe it would all turn out better for us all....or at least for my potential writing career if i skipped all of this personal censorship...and just went right to the heart of each and every matter..........most of this family no longer speaks to me anyway.........i do feel fortunate to have heard sedaris read many of his pieces on npr.....and so when i read them i can literally hear him read them aloud in my head........makes the experience much more personal........wonder if any of his family ever went to solidplatinum..............maybe i will just skip ahead and check it out.......
