Years ago, I was trapped on a ten day cruise ship with my in-laws. I was miserable, having tried and failed to get out of going... not because I didn't enjoy my in-laws, but cruise ships aren't my thing. The second day at sea, my brother in-law suggested we all write haikus based on our experiences on the ship. I guess my intense boredom/restlessness brought out the haiku monster deep inside me. There's a lot going on in the world, times are dark. Your brain might just need a long stretch of rest and sleep, maybe get a little bored. And what Charlie Kyle said.
I forget sometimes that I can look people up—so, thank you, Stacya.
Jody, wow, your book looks amazing! I love the cover!! (Reminds me of the back cover of my Richard Avedon, The Sixties: Abbie Hoffman sticking his tongue out, holding a rifle and giving the finger.) I cannot wait to read your book!!
It’s such a fabulous book of no-holds-barred photography. I was looking at that photo when writing you. My four-year-old appeared and stared at the photo like, what am I looking at? “That’s Abbie Hoffman,” I explained. With a giant smile he shouted, “Abbie Hoffman!”

Yes, Jody A. Forrester is indeed me! Thanks Stacya for responding to my lament - much appreciated!

David - thanks so much.
I'll have to look at that Avedon photo. I have that book though haven't looked at it for years. So glad you brought it to my attention.
All best wishes!
