Any parent trashing theater kids is an idiot. Jock parties: slamming booze, risky sex in somebody's bedroom. Drama club parties: 10 pizzas, choreographing and rehearsing a dance to some HAMILTON number.

Florida folks: If you have O- blood and are of African or African American descent, OneBlood is searching for donors who have a rare antigen that matches with a teenager with sickle cell disease who needs 50 units of blood so she can have a bone marrow transplant.

I, too, remember the Bicentennial summer as a happy, carefree time full of exciting, wholesome events. It was! But I have enough self-awareness to realize that at 14 years old, I was lovingly sheltered and completely unaware of the complexities adults dealt with.

Bayonets Gettysburg
Alt: Jeff Bridges as the immortal Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain at the Battle of Little Round Top in the movie Gettysburg. He is shouting "Bayonets!" as the 20th Maine prepares to advance against the Rebels, despite being almost out of ammunition. Despite being dirty and unshaven, his moustaches are a glory to behold.

My 32-year-old bodybuilding son actually looks like the AI generated photo. And I'll tell you one thing: he doesn't wear stretch spandex button-downs, and if he's in a dress shirt, he wears an undershirt so his nips don't show.

Working from home on a year-long deadline, I sometimes lose track of the calendar. I wasn't sure what day it was, until I heard Trump had threatened Iran again and was "going into the situation room." Then I knew it must be Friday!

In 2017, Criselda Vasquez painted this portrait of her parents and titled it "The New American Gothic." Last month, her father, the man in this portrait, was abducted by ICE after being in the US for 30+ years. The family is now struggling with bills. A GoFundMe has been started: gofund.me/456d8a193
A painting of a man and a woman standing in front of a red Chevrolet truck. The man is holding a hoe; the woman is holding a bucket with house cleaning supplies. The artist's two parents stand proudly in front of the painting.

My youngest daughter, on the other hand, was over-babied, as witnessed by the fact that her father called her, "The Baby" until she was in third grade.

Operation Epic Worry: what we're all taking part in.
Graph from the Chapman University Survey of American Fears 2026. We're afraid of loved ones becoming seriously ill or dying, pollution of drinking water, oceans and lakes, cyber terrorism and government tracking personal data, economic collapse, Russia using nukes, the US getting involved in a world war and, in the number one spot, corruption of US officials. I guess we all know who they're talking about in that one...

Consider Operation Epic Surry, where the target population is stunned and confused by drones repeatedly playing the Rogers & Hammerstein hit from their 1943 musical OKLAHOMA.
Curley and Laurie riding in that pretty little surry with the fringe on the top. High-stepping strutters not seen, but presumed to be there.

We could settle differences with Operation Epic Hurry: the head of each country drinks 22 ounces of tea plus the complimentary water found in his rental car, then attempts to reach one of the rest stops on the Merritt Parkway before an accident* occurs. *Biological or mechanical

Okay, Operation "Epic Fury," but here me out: what about Operation Epic Dhurrie, where skilled designers update Middle Eastern homes with smart flat-weave rugs?
A selection of colourful traditional dhurrie rugs in geometric designs. Much more tasteful than live ordinance.
