Somehow I signed up to be notified every time Groundhog Day is playing on TV. It's more often than you might think. (Or less if you were expecting every day.)

Know your rights. These are your rights. 1. Not to be killed (Murder is a crime. Unless it was done by a policeman.) 2. Food money (Providing of course you don't mind a little investigation, humiliation.) 3. Free speech (As long as you're not dumb enough to actually try it.)

I have several incomplete jokes and sharing with you to find the gem.

Picture of a mostly empty bookcase that is labled "U.S. Politics"

The book that is easy to see is titled JFK JR. There are a few others as well. Not all politics.

I remember standing next to Mom as she rummaged through our dark wood cabinets to find her tupperware mixing bowl. She'd work flour and cream into a sticky dough she'd then drop by spoonfuls into simmering chicken and vegetable stew. The dough would puff up into soft, shiny steamed dumplings. 1/6

Anyone who is watching the #Tonys and enjoyed that performance from Buena Vista Social Club - I highly recommend listening to the 1996 same-titled album that inspired it. It features legendary Cuban musicians brought together to play traditional Cuban standards, and it's fantastic.

Today I watched the 1954 sci-fi classic movie Them! about giant radiation-mutated ants. The ant scientist that advises the government is played by Kris Kringle from Miracle on 34th Street. I love that.

So often we get told that being a parent is what invests you into the future of the world, but over and over so many people have committed to making the world better and better for generations to come even though they had no children of their own. Dr. Fischer cared.

please enjoy this "vintage movie poster" I saw in a dream which was so funny to my subconscious that I immediately woke myself up to write it down for later

a mock up of a vintage style movie poster, with a bright yellow background featuring red, white, and black elements. the title reads "Please Margaret NO" and shows a well groomed man in a suit looking terrified, as a woman with curled hair and red lipstick holds her mouth open in a broad smile. the text below reads "he was a man with the world's largest collection of live butterflies and she wanted to eat them all". a motif of black and white butterfly silhouettes floats along the top of the poster.
