Joslyn House Revisited

This is a story I made back in 2020 and I love it and so I’m running it again.

People often assume the Joslyn House is a nursing home, probably because a lot of old people live there. But it’s not a nursing home. It’s not assisted living. There’s no anonymous art on the wall. It’s not licensed by the state. It’s a house. It’s a a place where up to twenty older people live independently together…in a huge, elegant house furnished with their own things. It is a place where you don’t have to worry about cooking, where if you’re lonely at night there‘s someone to talk to, or sit with. In other words, a civilized, safe place where love is evident.

Thanks to all the residents who talked with me, and the beautiful Arlene and Becky Wright, managers of the house.

My friend Kelly Green produced this show with me. She’s great at this PLUS she’s a great defense attorney! If you're in trouble, call Kelly.

The song for this show is A Wave in the Air by The Imperfectionists, from their latest album, Universal Consent.

And my frickin ALL TIME FAVORITE IMPERFECTIONIST SONG: Astroplane.
