Somehow, this little kid of mine turns 30 today! He's not on socials much, but I'm sharing anyway. He's grown up to have such a beautiful heart.

This is an old photo of me and my kid. Right around nine years ago. We took it on a day out to run errands. He'd just moved back home after making his way through recovery. Today we celebrated his 9th sober birthday. Congrats to my kid and to everyone else working through recovery! #Recovery

Leading with the word count and ending with "Here's a transcript of their conversation" tells me how much substance exists in those 23,000 words. 4 reporters with a sitting president for 2 hrs and not a single comment or topic they wanted to highlight? I'll get right to reading this masterpiece.

Headline from the New York Times above a photo of Trump and others in a meeting reads: "Two Hours, Scores of Questions, 23,000 Words: Our Interview With President Trump." Small print reads: Four New York Times reporters pressed Mr. Trump about a range of topics in a nearly two-hour interview. Here is a transcript of their conversation.

I don't know how to make any of this make sense anymore.

Social media post by Brian Tyler Cohen, quoting @socialistMMA. The quote in white and orange text on a black background reads:

Flying home after saying goodbye to a dear friend and a few days of a bittersweet family visit. An evening with my nephew always brightens my heart.

21 years together, married 19 today. I walked down the aisle to Pretty Donna by Collective Soul, and to Rich's surprise, I didn't cry once during our ceremony even though he's seen me cry over commercials. I don't know how I got so lucky but finding this guy changed my whole world.

Photo from behind shows Alie Dumas-Heidt wearing an orange hat, sitting on a bench with her husband Rich, looking at a sailboat on Puget Sound.

I left the house wearing what I call "real pants" instead of the sweats I'm usually in at home. I changed when I got home and tossed my pants on the bed. Torvi pulled them off, shook them like a rag doll then walked away. I think she was mad I left without her but I also think she blames the pants!

As an author I try not to go negative against other authors, but I did chuckle at this headline. Condolences to the ghostwriter on that one.

Torvi and her woobie sock. She actually now owns the pair, and she drags them around daily, cuddles when she needs them, and parades them around for guests. And unlike her other toys, she's never tried to tear them apart.

A fluffy black dog with white feet and a white tipped tail is in a pink and purple dog bed meant to look like an octopus, holding a thick sock printed with strawberries between her front paws, looking lost in thought.
