I talk to myself at work a lot, most often because I'm reacting to podcasts I'm listening to (so I end up laughing at nothing in a lot of people's perspectives, and that doesn't bother me) but it also means I say things like "wow, what the fuck" very quietly, but still perceptible to anyone even remotely paying attention. I always said that it would probably get me in trouble someday. So I was walking past three customers (a guy who looked like Ian Ziering and two shorter guys in ball caps), and listening to a podcast where two people were having a shouting argument, and as one was getting up to use the restroom, I did, at the same time, said, as the argument on the podcast was ending, "wow, what the fuck was that?" Not loudly, but with a sort of disbelief, like, "where did THAT come from?" The Ziering tugs on my shirtsleeve, beckons me down to ear level at his booth. I put my head down next to him, shaken from my reverie, and ask "how can I help you, sir?" "Hey, man, you ain't gotta say smart shit like that, be an asshole." I blink. "Beg…pardon?" "My friend put his hands on me and you gotta say smart-ass shit. I don't appreciate that." Turns out, his friend, as he was standing up to use the restroom, clapped him on the back. He thought my "what the fuck was that" was directed at his friend touching him. I'll say it now because I couldn't say it then; what an insecure fucking buffoon. "Sir, I swear, I didn't say anything to you or about you." As calm and as matter-of-fact as you can possibly read that sentence in your own head. "Whatever. Better get outta here. Keep fuckin' walkin'." Flummoxed beyond myself, fight or flight kicked in. I untied my apron and headed for the door, saying "that's it, I'm done, I draw the line at being threatened at my fucking job." I had to be talked into staying by one of the servers. I did so under duress. But I think that guy's not allowed to eat there anymore. I was shaken for most of the day. And on my walk home, I saw an entire homeless family. First one in my neighborhood. Hope it's not becoming a trend. I'm real bummed out now. It's been a week.

Sensibilidad y excelencia para celebrar a una deportista gigantesca

El espectador que no se haya informado acerca del argumento de La batalla de los sexos (Jonathan Dayton, Valerie Faris, 2017) antes de concurrir al cine, se sorprenderá al descubrir que lo más conmovedor del film está por fuera del partido famoso que protagonizaron Billie Jean King y Bobby Riggs y que el largometraje se concentra, principalmente, en la vida personal y política de la legendaria tenista estadounidense.

Lógicamente, aquella exhibición histórica que ambos protagonizaron en Houston en los 70's tiene un rol importante en la trama (con una ambientación, vestuario, dobles de cuerpo que representan los movimientos de los tenistas y material documental notables) pero lo que resulta verdaderamente cautivante durante las dos horas de proyección es el trabajo minucioso sobre el personaje de King. En esta construcción espléndida intervienen, por un lado, la sensibilidad y sutileza de los directores para narrar el temperamento categórico, el feminismo y la revelación de una nueva elección sexual para la protagonista y, por otro, el talento e inteligencia de Emma Watson para interpretar, sin imitar, el alma, la esencia, de la figura representada. Así, la escena de las jugadoras en el salón de belleza antes de una sesión de prensa resulta una síntesis precisa de la hermosura que prima en la película: directores que recortan rostros, miradas y movimientos acompañando con música apropiada y una actriz dotada de gestos y expresiones para transmitir sentimientos intensos sin reforzar o empalagar.

No es menor la cuestión política y social en la obra como tampoco lo fue en la juventud de Billie Jean: su lucha fundadora por la igualdad de premios entre mujeres y varones (debate que hoy sigue en discusión y que en Argentina tuvo a jugadoras contemporáneas a King como Raquel Giscafré o Elvira Weisenberger entre sus pioneras), su enfrentamiento al machismo dominante de la prensa y la oposición con jugadoras más conservadoras como la australiana Margaret Court están plasmados con rigor histórico y dinamismo, enriqueciendo todavía más la producción. Otro aspecto interesante del film tiene que ver con una toma de posición que, si bien da cuenta de la historia de Riggs sin juzgarlo o ridiculizarlo, estará indudablemente del lado de King, pronunciándose a favor de la lucha por los derechos de las minorías, la paridad y la integración.

Decía que, aunque no es lo más preponderante de la cinta, el encuentro trascendental entre King y Riggs se presenta recreado de forma magistral y en esta reconstrucción resulta especialmente vibrante el montaje del partido con voleas, tiros ganadores y diversas series de puntos entre ambos (la tenista profesional Kaitlyn Cristian prestó su cuerpo para representar a Stone/King) alternados con archivos documentales reales del '73. La secuencia del desenlace en la que no faltan la emoción genuina y la conciencia inspiradora de que algo comenzará a cambiar en el deporte y en la sociedad después del evento están al nivel de una película bella, íntima y poderosa.

The Minutes of Our Last Meeting – “Do Me, Dotard”

by Joe Janes

     The Ottawa County Senior Community Center

September 27, 2017

 -  The Ottawa County Senior Community Center Committee met on the morning of Wednesday, September 27, 2017. In attendance were: Center Director Margaret Niehauser, Glenn Davis. Phyllis Davis, Hal Jergen, Dr. Neil Loughlin, Janet Webster, Mark Krause, Paul Custodio, Greg Wendling, Rebecca Levine, Nat “Nat” Topping, Susan Gutowski, Chip Chinery, Millie Milburn, Milt Milburn, Deanna Baker, and Lori Letterhos. Chris Othic fell sleep ten minutes in, so I don���t know if that counts as in attendance.

-  Center Director Margaret Neihauser asked Glenn Davis to take over the position of “secretary” since Phyllis Davis’s stroke has left her note taking abilities “shaky, at best”. Mr. Davis protested due to his never having been a “secretary”. Center Director Margaret Neihauser informed Mr. Davis to “just do you”. Mr. Davis is doing this for you, Phyllis, but HE does not like it.

-  During our traditional meeting opening singing the national anthem aka pella, everyone was appropriately and silently irked that Hal Jergen decided to “take a knee”. It wasn’t until the “rockets red blare” that he toppled over, and many realized he was having a heart attack. Others continued singing as stopping singing the Star-Spangled Banner would have been something a liberal would do. An ambulance was called and some people attempted to administer aid, except for Dr. Loughlin, who thought “kneeling and toppling over” might be part of the protest. To be fair, Mr. Jergen was clenching his fists.

-  In a vote that was everyone For and one very Opposed, the committee voted to offer free coffee at the center, but not herbal tea, deemed a luxury, because Margaret doesn’t care if Mr. Davis, the opposing vote, dies from hypertension or a heart attack, Jergen-style. It’s not a luxury if it keeps you alive or keeps you from killing someone else in a fit of caffeinated rage. Mr. Davis has chosen to water down any free coffee he sips because there is no way in hell he’s going to bring in his own Sleepy Time Tea and have others mooch off him, Janet.

-  Lori Letterhos, treasurer, reported that by re-using our flags for Flag Day, Memorial Day, 4th of July, and Labor Day the past three years has saved us $38.42 because we did not have to buy replacement flags. An item that was tabled until the next meeting was to use the same flags for Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. A brief discussion about what to do with our surplus funds followed, but then Lori explained that we don’t have surplus funds, we just didn’t spend that much buying more flags. Had we spent it, our coughers would have been at -$38.42. Makes me wonder where we’re getting all the funds for the free Folger’s coffee that will be flowing like a brown waterfall from that Hamilton coffee urn that dates back to the Nixon administration.

-  The committee had a rather snippy debate about North Korea and Donald Trump. By a majority of one, it was decided that in a war of insults, “dotard” destroys “rocket man”. No one knew what a “dotard” was, but figured the t-a-r-d part made it pretty bad. We decided it was not unreasonable to believe The United States should concede all power and property to North Korea based on insults alone. We would still kick North Korea’s butt in a real war, just like last time. We all also agreed that everyone should be forced to stand during the national anthem. This is the land of the free, after all! While Hal Jergen’s heart attack was unfortunate, it was also disrespectful.

-  When Mr. Davis does not know what to do, do not tell him to ‘just do you”. He does not know how to do him. That’s how we got into this situation, Margaret. Just ask Phyllis as soon as she is able to speak clearly.

-  Memorial services for Hal Jergen will be Friday afternoon at Gerner & Wolf Funeral Home. Burial services will be Saturday at Riverview Cemetery, which is not near a river. At all.

-  There may have been some other things. Mr. Davis doesn’t know. He doesn’t do this sort of thing. Our next meeting is in one month and Margaret better find herself another “secretary”.
