A Little Shug Avery Pee In It

Tonight, after I got home from a great dinner with the neighbors, I was handed the remote. I immediately found The Color Purple and switched to it, hoping for some Shug Avery - just to rationalize my dog, if nothing else. What I got was a raw flashback to being nineteen, lying on the couch on Beaumont watching the Color Purple all of the summer of 1987. And a strong reminder of why this film was in my Top 10. I told my husband - who looked at me like I had eaten worms. It's sad, really, that I can't be all me everywhere. It seems too much to lay on any one person. Jesus, I should know.
