It's Wednesday, March 16th, or 15th, and the day 36 a.m. I'm driving on Redwood Highway back to Pelloma. I think I'm almost in Pengrove right now. And I just got an idea, by the way, I'm listening to Clara and the sun by Casimo Isicoto, and I get, I'm in the park where she's talking about having to excuse herself because of no ankle pain. So anyway, in listening to that made me think about the story cycle and flight of course and all that. And I thought of another story. One of the first stories I wanted to write was basically about the creation myth. And I didn't necessarily want to write it directly because I don't think that I really love how people talk about stories, not so much like having to follow the story sometimes feel difficult or just the same or cliche. So I was thinking of, you know, a scene in a restaurant where two people are talking about, they're debating creation versus evolution. And perhaps one is an anthropologist and the other is a biologist. And maybe they agree, maybe they don't. I don't want to turn it into creation versus evolution. But I also want a weave. I really like the idea of the setting being a restaurant or a dinner table where conversation does start. And I think it would really be interesting to talk about the dish itself, you know, has some sort of name that ties it back to the theme. So like, you know, it's probably some sort of super sauce that feels like it's made up of everything. And almost could like, because it's made up of everything or could go with anything. And obviously give an opportunity to talk about like in biological terms, the primordial who's of, you know, how that started. But obviously that's an oversimplified in a theory that perhaps is not accepted today, because they're much more, a lack of a better term, he falls to theory. But traditionally, I want the anthropological kind of aspect to be about storytelling. And perhaps the theme of the restaurant had some sort of, you know, well, I mean, what is culture, you know, and how does culture apply to storytelling that would really be, I think fit well with the story. And so that's there, yeah. I don't know exactly how other than perhaps there's a simple suggestion of manners, you know, where place setting etiquette and culture could be brought up that way. Culture could be brought up in perhaps, you know, kind of class and race relations way. There are the restaurants that doesn't accept tips, or perhaps if the server is the different ethnicity, or if the restaurant is, you know, one of the restaurants where maybe there are maybe between these restaurant, maybe it's an Indian restaurant, or perhaps maybe it's an Indian restaurant in the server's white. And, you know, they have the kind of crunchy conversation as to why the server is white in a restaurant that serves Indian through. And how racist that is also. So, there's stuff like that, but I'm just pulling up into my street. So I'm probably going to stop thinking about this, but I do like the idea. So, I don't know where it's going to go, but anyway, there's that.
