Manners

What a glorious day. As I collected the papers this morning, the sun painted the ribbonous edge of a towering cumulonimbus cloud a searing white. The sky that framed it was so blue for a moment I forgot how old I was. It sounds silly, sure, but I was a child of the earth for a moment. It looked like a photo from one of those motivational posters Manolo gets at the mall. I would have labeled it "Manners." Read on to know why. Leon's movie starts shooting tonight. I am relieved to assume it is a legit film based on the talent and not anything like that unfortunate photoshoot a one-time manager convinced me to allow in the guest wing. There is no craft services table to be seen and both coffee pots are missing. Looks like the picture is about to get one more associate producer, Diary.
