Julie and Jacquie driving from Santa Monica to L.A. Julie is riding shotgun. Not Bill. Jacquie classified Julie as her invaluable navigator ;)
Bill K, Erin, Joe, Clara and Jimmy are all crammed in the back.
Obviously, Julie and Jacquie regressed to Age 12.
Some familiar 80s era Kenny G-esque horn music comes on the radio. Julie proclaims the music is familiar, and Jacquie identifies the musician as Chuck Mangione. Needless to say, much giggling ensued. Julie accuses Jacquie of being a fan. Jacqueline denies fandom, and proclaims that Jane had the album.
The following text exchange followed between Julie and Jacquie in the car and Jane, in Evanston:
Julie: Chuck Mangione? Really?
Jane: Um what?
Julie: We just heard it on the radio and decided you liked that album
Jane: Wtf? Y'all are insane. I don't even know who he is.
Julie: I think it was Jacquie's album. She knows the title (feelin good) and just said these words : he was a frequent guest on the Love Boat
Once upon a glass or twelve of wine, Jacquie and Beth and Ellie got to talking. We decided that we were all enormously smart and clever and hilarious, and that it would be a crime not to share our unique talents with the world. We decided to start a blog together.
We needed a name, so Jacquie asked Beth: “What should we call a blog about meand you and Ellie?” And the rest, as they say, is history. We are having a blast writing this thing, and if there was any trepidation that we were only smart and clever and hilarious that night because of all the wine, our words here thus far have succinctly affirmed our mutual self-admiration.
What are you reading?
Ellie - Middlemarch, George Eliot. Finally
Jacquie - The Nightingale, Kristen Hannah
