Things one should not do: Smell a filet, decide it smells questionable.. but grill and eat it anyway.
Oops. Lesson learned.
Over the last few days, I’ve seen several very thought-provoking documentaries as part of the APA film festival held annually here in DC. One was about host clubs in Japan, where women go and pay men to spend time with them in a boyfriend-ly fashion… called modern-day geisha houses, it amazes and humbles me that an entire industry has been built around meeting women’s emotional needs. Another one I saw was about the family of the Sikh gentleman in Phoenix who was shot in the days following 9/11, just because he was wearing a turban - the one image that stayed with me was of several of his brothers, heads wrapped in turbans, huddled around an American newspaper with fingers pressed to the paper, trying to piece together the foreign words explaining why their brother had been murdered. Not much more to say about it. Overwhelming. DC denizens, the films continue through the weekend with several strong selections available on saturday. Hope to see you there!
