Honestly, I'm FineNegative Income, Positive Trauma (Anything Is Not Better Than Nothing)Negative Income, Positive Trauma: (Anything Is Not Better Than Nothing)People keep telling me, “Anything is better than nothing,” which is a cute idea until you open a calculator and realize that going back to work actually puts you in the red.

Il y eut ainsi Erlinda Montaño, l'Indienne Navarro rencontrée en Californie; Marie-Laure Roperch qui lui donnera un fils, Alexandre; Gilda Butta, la pianiste italienne et enfin Isabelle Mailé qui lui tient la main dans les derniers moments et qui partira trop tôt, elle aussi, en 2005. Il y eut aussi les officieuses. Là, c'est une autre histo...
