Dinner was an experience savoured with fine friends and red wine.
I contributed the Remy Martin; essential to any festive gathering.
It was a little different for me, the solo act with two duets.
Later the ladies both went to work and the gents and I sat, wine in hand, disseminating.
-- we are all the same--
Looking in from the outside they have it all. A beautiful home right on the golf course. A family of two beautiful children. Good-looks, charm, and happiness. The reality I was told, is rather different. Employment uncertain, love crushed by debt, anxiety and medicate the kids into happiness.
The wine was good though.

It's 1993.
Kurt is looking into the camera telling us how he is happy for the only time in his life.
He is calm, clear-eyed.
We heard it on the news ------

I’m on my time with everyone
I have very bad posture
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
Distill the life that’s inside of me
Sit and drink pennyroyal tea
I’m anemic royalty
Give me a leonard cohen afterworld
So I can sigh enternally
I’m so tired I can’t sleep
I’m a liar and a thief - "Pennyroyale tea" Nirvana
