David Sedaris


 Thank you Ron for your themes….much appreciated.

I like listening to David Sedaris on the radio..but I also enjoy reading his books….which I hear in my head as David reading it to me…

He does have an unusual and daring dress sense too which I admire…although it does look like he is wearing his pyjama bottoms with a suit jacket here…(as he gets older people might start thinking he hasn’t realised…)

Very funny man.

  1. I absolutely love his sense of humor and his outfits. Looks like he's wearing the short of it here! I also like that he picks up trash and was honored by the Queen for doing so...

    ...from People magazine, November 12, 2018:

    David Sedaris recently had tea with the Queen at Buckingham Palace. But it wasn’t because he’s sold 11 million copies of his books and is a master comic storyteller. It was because of his hobby: He often leaves his home in rural Sussex at midnight, puts on a headlamp and spends up to nine hours de-littering the local highways and byways.

    “The Queen has these garden parties—this was do-gooder day, so there were 8,000 do-gooders there,” he says, sitting in the kitchen of the 16th-century farmhouse he shares with his boyfriend of 26 years, Hugh Hamrick. “I got invited, but it was only for picking up rubbish.” But still— thrilling, right? He shrugs. “People ask me what I felt when I saw her, but I felt nothing.”

    I heard an interview with him on radio once about his litter work. Brilliant.
