Driving back from PT, I was behind an Audi whose plate read CAFN8D. Well played, driver; well played.

For those of you in need of a good Halloween story... years ago, my younger daughter and I were walking in downtown Winder, Georgia. We both love old houses and stopped at one that had a For Sale sign in the yard. A woman on the porch invited us in to look around. It was charming but I noticed my

The last two weeks have been absolute hell for my family, so I made chocolate-cinnamon bread because I feel helpless. 😢

Today I am thinking with love and gratitude for the first responders and ordinary citizens who performed heroic acts while selflessly sacrificing themselves. They were the best of us, and they give me hope that we'll make our way through this fascist time.

Of all the things that currently enrage me, this may be the worst. I began reading from the adult section in 5th grade; my love of reading became my career. These sanctimonious hypocrites need to fuck off.

We should ask folks for donations to take a whack at it. I'd pay a few hundred to be the one at the helm of the wrecking ball.

It's simple. People who mangle words are those who do not read anything. They have never seen the actual word. Fine, if sad, in a plumber; enormously dangerous in a powerful gov't official.

Reading about items from the 70s and 80s referred to as "vintage" is making me feel very old indeed.

I got to the farmers' market today for the first time since my TKR, and met a lovely Polish woman selling pastries. I'm very sorry I did not buy a dozen.

Sixty million 💵 for a primary?? When I think how many hungry children that amount could feed, I become incandescent with rage. Our political system needs to be smashed to bits.

If you are in Chicago, make the trip to TNT Ramen on the Southside. Amazing ramen and this Basque guava cheesecake is the best I've ever tasted.

Every year at this time, I miss teaching. New beginnings, as it were. But seeing how my former colleagues have to deal with the horrors of AI, I'm feeling relieved I'm not going back. Much love to those of you who are.
