My commute home looks like this today.

On my morning walk I stopped briefly to marvel at a small snail as it caught a free glide across damp pavement

I had 22 million daily readers. I once tangled with Barbara Walters on The View. Now I'm wearing a hot dog costume and harassing toddlers

When you own a vintage car, you also need to make friends with a tow truck operator. My 1967 Morris Minor is headed to town for a spiff-up

I paid homage to LL last week at the Skirball in LA. A wonderful exhibit celebrating early comics.

Within a few minutes at a lunch in Malibu I was treated to a number of very unflattering Natalie Portman anecdotes. And my trip across the country to California just paid for itself.

A lone kayak traverses the ChIcago River. Chicago is at its most shimmery in the summertime.

This Halloween ... I wonder how many little kids are going to go as Natalie Harp

Please ... nobody tell me where truck stop hard boiled eggs come from (aside from hens) - because I LOVE them. I could live on these and pouch pickles. I need nothing more. (Well, maybe a nutritionist...)

Wow I had the pleasure of seeing The Odyssey projected on one of the very few 70MM IMAX screens in the country - in Rochester, NY - home of Eastman Kodak. (That's little me standing in front of the mammoth screen)

Haha yours truly. My favorite detail ... (The tiny Hello Kitty)

After I quit my job, I bought a small building on Main Street in my hometown (pop. 505) and opened a lending library and free cinema, where I show movies on Friday nights. Last night: JAWS (My terrier is the official usher and full-time crumb-Roomba)

A swallowtail butterfly feeds on the blossoms of a butterfly bush. Lovely to watch, if a bit on the nose

Nearby to my hometown we had until recently the Hill Cumorah Pageant ... a bonkers depiction of Joseph Smith meeting the Angel Moroni, thus founding Mormonism, which was born here. (You're welcome, world)

I just want the credit I deserve. This week I've forced 3 bored teenagers who have been fed non-stop movie slop ... I have forced them to see live theater in creaky old venues. Two musicals in one week! Summer stock is the most wonderful gift to small towns. (The kids remain unimpressed.)

The only smart thing I've done this summer is to grow own lettuce. Here's my little patch. I call her Lettuce Pray

This detail from a WSJ story about Platner's campaign manager Dan Moraff caught my eye. Moraff's fiancée's engagement ring "opens to a tiny comb that she has used to brush Moraff's beard."

I nurture and tend my gardens. And then my plants do whatever they want. [And please help me settle this annual awkwardness. I say Clem-AAHH-tiss Others say CLEM-ah-tiss] Which is it?

Happy Mothers Day to all who celebrate by avoiding their families and hiding out in the potting shed

I know that today's timeline is so awful that no amount of adorable cats can possibly cleanse it, but here is a fox crossing our field this morning.

Oh my God, New York Times. I will fight you.

Impressive turnout to see John Mulaney at the State Theater in Ithaca on the first beautiful afternoon this spring.

This "meal" cost $20. The egg salad sandwich was $14.99

The Birdseye Diner in Castleton Vermont. I ordered an egg cream (!) a chocolate malted, and the #5 Hungryman Special. No regrets

Where I live, the sun rises are spectacular and very brief in winter -- because the sun never actually emerges. Here's a timelapse from today:

I like this one, though it seems photoshoppy

I got my first dog four years ago, after a lifetime loving cats (still do, by the way). My experience has been something like motherhood: a long period of adjustment followed by deep attachment and love. Meet Molly

Spending the longest night of the year reading in front of the fire. Alone. In short -- living the dream, baby
