There’s a Rivian wave.

You see another Rivian, you’re in a Rivian, you wave.

Sometimes I have to remind myself if I’m not in the Rivian not to wave because they won’t know why I’m waving at them, but there is a Rivian wave.

I wouldn’t say 100% of people do it, but I would say probably 9 out of every 10 Rivians I see, they share the wave.

A couple days ago I had to go pick up Liam from a music lesson and a car goes by me, it’s a Rivian and I wave to the driver, he waves back and I turn and I’m now right behind that Rivian.

He turns left, I turn left.

He turns left again, I turn left again.

He turns right to go on this little side street that I use as a shortcut to get to the highway.

And so of course I too turn right to go down that same street.

And now I’m thinking, man, if he is noticing, he’s wondering why this Rivian driver is so enthusiastic that post-wave he’s like, I got to see this guy.

And I was really feeling a vibe with no evidence that this guy thought I was following him and it was weird.

And as we go through this side street, he turns left into a bank.

I don’t have to turn left into the bank, but I really think about it.

I just thought, how funny would it be if I turned left into the bank as well and just followed this guy there.

And it’s like, Hey, she didn’t want to say hi.

Uh, I didn’t do it.

Uh, in part, because I had to get to Liam on time and in part, because you never want to risk getting murdered.

And in part, because if somebody did to me, I wouldn’t like it.

So I feel like that’s the right way to approach it.

I let him be, but it was still quite funny to me.

Uh, instead I, you know, turned right and got Liam.

Separately in a theater news, I, uh, did not get cast in Anne Frank, although Lauren did neither see her nor I did.

So exciting for her, less exciting for us, but still excited to see it.

And, uh, a good friend of mine from the theater community who I’ve never done a show with, but, uh, whoever they like, it’s like, you got to audition at this other theater to do this other show called the drowsy chaperone.

And it’s frankly, candidly in truth, which are all basically the same thing.

Not my favorite theater.

It’s not really anybody’s favorite theater.

Uh, it’s a newer theater and they’re still, you know, finding budget.

They’re still finding themselves.

They sometimes have done shows that I think are too big for their stage.

Uh, they, uh, sometimes, uh, do shows that are just too big for the auditioners they get.

So it’s not my favorite theater, but everybody who does shows there has a wonderful time.

Lauren and Sierra have done a show there.

I’ve got plenty of friends who’ve done a show there.

This friend, John has done a show there.

Uh, and he’s like, you got to audition.

It’ll be fun.

So I did as did he.

And we’re both called back for different things.

Uh, tomorrow is the callback.

And I haven’t said this explicitly to the show, but I’m only doing the show.

If he does the show, like it’s the kind of thing where I’ll do the show.

If my friend is doing the show, uh, cause that’d be fun, but otherwise I’m not going to do it.

So I need two of us to do well, I guess.

Uh, so good luck to both of us.

You’re not supposed to break a leg to both of us.

Question mark.

Anyway, those are my updates.

Oh no, I got another update.

Uh, so many people are at my house today.

Currently Rivian is at my house doing a mobile service appointment for my car.

Uh, what else?

Um, earlier today, the vent cleaning person was here and even though my heat is now fine and the vents weren’t the issue when I had been scoping the vents with my iPhone camera, uh, some of them were really gross and clearly they had never been cleaned out.

And so I thought, why not do it?

And he did a fine job.

He was very odd.

He came in and he had seen my bumper sticker on my, uh, wife’s car, I guess.

And he’s like, do you believe that?

I’m like, what?

And he’s like, do you believe that Tesla is crazy?

Like, yeah, that’s why I have the bumper sticker.

He’s like, well, how do you feel about, um, the fact that he’s back in Trump?

And I was like, not good because I don’t like either one of them.

I’m really just testing at this point to see where the conversation would go.

And it’s like, yeah, yeah, you can’t, you can’t deny though that Elon’s a genius.

I’m like, no, I would deny that.

I think he’s, uh, been fortunate and I think he’s not an idiot.

Uh, but like he didn’t build Tesla.

He bought Tesla after it was already successfully building cool cars.

He’s like, yeah, but he did see the opportunity.

I’m like, okay, great.

Uh, um, I was being very clear that I didn’t want to be in this conversation.

Then he cleans up my, uh, vents and he shows me some of the weird things that he finds, all of which I believe predate our ownership of this home.

Cause I’ve never seen any of them and we throw them all away.

And then he was telling me stories of all the gross and weird things he has found in vents because he said that mine were very boring.

Uh, and one house, uh, there was a woman who was in bed.

She was under hospice care.

Uh, and she, um, he’s cleaning out the vent in the bedroom and he finds lots and lots of pantyhose and all different sides and a really old collection of pornographic magazines.

And he was telling me like, what do I do?

I’m not going to tell her.

I’m not going to tell the hospice nurse.

Like it could have been her husband’s.

She grew up in that home.

Could have been her dad’s could have been brothers.

Like, I’m just going to let it be and say nothing and throw it away.

I was like, and tell me.

And he’s like, yes, I guess I can tell you.

I guess that’s weird too.

I’m like, nah, that’s fine.

And that’s my story about the vent cleaning man.

It was an event to her.

I don’t know.

It was eventful.

I don’t know.

Okay.

And now it’s an empty bed.

Bye Lex.
