Who knew??? -- I would be celebrating the 100th birthday of my former employer all through his 101th YEAR -- and by GETTING HIS REVENGE!!! HA!

>>> Rafael Cherry, often called THE TRUMAN CAPOTE OF RALEIGH, NC, a FABULOUS artist with the mind and tongue of The Devil, was once the Darlin' of all the Old Dowagers (as he liked to call them) there. And that included Betty Kenan -- QUEEN BEE of them all!!!
But they abandonned him and his poison tongue -- EXCEPT for the late Elizabeth Edwards who remained his CLOSE freind until her death.
MAKES YOU WONDER:
Especially since Betty's son Thomas S. Kenan III gave John Edwards a significant campaign contribution or two -- and back then, Tommy ONLY gave to Republicans.
Could John Edwards' troubles be TRUMPED-UP lies, spread by the same Bush/Cheney/Gingrich/Fox News RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY that has been hounding me???
>>> Consider:
1. Only Elizabeth Edwards remained Rafael's confidante after all the other powerful women of North Carolina had abandonned him.
2. She had actually supported Rafael by buying a lot of his artwork when Rafael was younger, "starving", and living with once-do-well writer Laura Argiri -- whom he always bad-mouthed behind her back.
3. Elizabeth actually contracted Rafael Cherry to design campaign posters for John Edwards' FIRST PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN, which made no sense to me since Rafael's style does NOT lend itself to that.
(And Rafael told me that as much as he loved Elizabeth Edwards -- he HATED her husband worse -- but did them.)
Still, Rafael GOT PAID!!!
4. Could the charges against John Edwards (whom EVERYONE seems to hate -- due to Elizabeth's SUPERIOR PR -- THAT's ALL we KNOW for CERTAIN!!!) be lies JUST LIKE THOSE AGAINST OUR FABULOUS GOVERNOR BEV PERDUE???
5. Has your understanding of what I have been up against just GROWN???
6. So, Rafael's EXTREME loyalty to his Alma Mater, Sewanee, and his DISRESPECT for me and fifteen-years-long LEADING ME ON has something to do with ALL of this.
7. That said, Rafael is the FIRST to tell me that Alan Gurganus's book OLDEST CONFEDERATE WIDOW TELLS ALL is a fictionalized account of my great grandparents, Julia and Murphy Kenan -- the surname changed to "Marsden" in the book and TV Movie.
8. And as Astute Readers of this blog will recall, my Dad remembers Julia's 100th birthday -- SHE KILLED A RATTLESNAKE IN THE BACK YARD WITH A BROOMSTICK THAT DAY. So YOU TELL ME:
WHO'S GOT THE BEST GENES TO TAKE OUT THE GOD-HATING, FAKE CHRISTIAN, FAKE REPUBLICANS, anyway???
9. And here's a photo of Rafael-on-the-Beach, like when I first met him at Wrightsville Beach and we had IMMEDIATE sex in the dunes . . .

Whatever you do, boys (girls will have to seek their advice elsewhere)? Do Not (...as I did on Thursday afternoon) vaguely wonder why it's sort of "burning" when you pee. At the time, I recalled everything I learned in 9th grade classes on VD, decided that, for better or worse, I had nothing to worry about, and promptly ignored the matter...assuming it would "go away". By the middle of the night, I was in REAL discomfort...and by them middle of Friday, it'd progressed to the point of my writhing around on the bathroom floor in uncontrollable (albeit unproductive) nausea. I managed to get into the doctor and wouldn't have been allowed to be back home today (Saturday) if I didn't live with a doctor who can supervise things. In short, it is no fun to suddenly (and for no reason that anyone can figure out) to encounter the Decidedly Un-blessed Trifecta of a Kidney, Bladder, and prostrate infection. Apparently, this stuff progresses QUICKLY. 18 hours of nuclear antibiotics and anti=nausea pills later?....I'm doing well enough, but as limp as a drowned kitten.See More
