#RIP Robert Towne, the Oscar-winning screenplay writer of “Shampoo,” “The Last Detail” and other acclaimed films whose work on “Chinatown” became a model of the art form and helped define the jaded allure of his native Los Angeles.

@GottaLaff I wonder if anything will ever be better than his Chinatown screenplay.

@GottaLaff so- do you have room for a lovely family in that new place in Canada?

OldAndCranky , 3 days ago

@GottaLaff I'm gonna start packing today. Shall I bring some decent NYC bagels? I could take a side trip down there...

OldAndCranky , 3 days ago

@SDParris @GottaLaff I'm old. I doubt I'll be leaving. I just don't know what to do. I'm so worried for my daughter and her wife and child. Both daughters for that matter, but the gay one especially. I want to hide them all and protect them- and they're very grown up women.

OldAndCranky , 3 days ago

@GottaLaff @SDParris Yeah- I keep telling my kids to get out while the going's good. But they don't. They live in MA and NYC so I guess they're feeling fairly protected...

@GottaLaff @SDParris Did they move to Canada with you? Also, you have twins? I did not know that! How cool!

OldAndCranky , 3 days ago

@GottaLaff @SDParris oooops... apparently not! But then, it's been a busy year.

OldAndCranky , 3 days ago

@GottaLaff It turns out I have read most of those posts! I just kind of forgot the details because I'm old and just moved 18 months ago myself (and STILL adjusting). I bet having twin boys was a journey! My girls are two years a part and that was a trip...and we moved 3000(San Francisco to NJ) miles back when they were 1 and 3. After this latest move from NJ to MA, I think I'm all moved out. At least we're living in the bluest of states and hoping we'll all survive. I keep telling the kids to consider it but- who knows.

@GottaLaff I don't know what else we can do at this point. My gay kid and her wife are so happy in Boston... surrounded by friends and supportive co workers in good situations. Straight daughter has less to lose- I could see her leaving the country at some point. I'm not sure Canada would be her choice, though.

OldAndCranky , 3 days ago

@GottaLaff Well, then I guess I'll just jump up and down and panic. I don't know what the fuck else we can do. Meanwhile it's gorgeous outside.

@GottaLaff This is too depressing. I'm going outside to look at birds.

Another day, another apology from me for staying offline a lot and not replying to you.

I'm still sloooowwwly improving, but weak and still feeling that anxiety thing.

It'll all pass, but in the meantime, hi and bye.

Tons to do to settle in here, and no energy.

Hugs to all.

@GottaLaff You sick, Laffy? What's up? Hope you're feeling better by the time you read this!

OldAndCranky , 15 days ago

@GottaLaff Oh, I get that. I think I'm just now recovering from our big move a year and a half ago. Exhausting and incredibly stressful- even when you're happy with where you're moving to.

Folks, I'm going upstairs to watch this on TV now.

THANK YOU ALL
