Ozymandias syndrome? Once I read that Rupert Murdoch has it, I see it in so many people. Read the poem again: poets.org/poem/ozymand...

Echocardiogram this morning, then lunch with writer friend. Both exploring the capacity of the heart. Oh, and my book club tonight. Win win win.

What’s your favorite bookstore? I love Mystery Lovers Bookshop in Oakmont, PA (a suburb of Pittsburgh.) A store with a long and glorious history. They’re re-arranging this weekend. Can’t wait to see the results. Where do you shop for books? We should make a starter pack!

The Martha Stewart doc is fascinating. For one thing, James Comey may be solely responsible for bringing down two strong, brilliant, successful women. Why? We’re going to write about this, aren’t we?

Books can help. Love this article in today’s Post. When times get tough, I turn to Patrick O’Brian. (I am ready to board for my fifth circumnavigation.) But maybe it’s time to crack open Dorothy Dunnett instead? Who do you read in times of trouble? I need suggestions, friends!

Feeling despondent? So am I. Then I remembered, books can help.
I know I can always escape into novels by P.G. Wodehouse and Patrick O’Brian and find strength in biographies of past leaders. What will you choose?

Years ago, at a lovely wedding reception in Arizona, the nice lady sitting next to me at the table opened her little handbag to show me her pistol. At a wedding reception. Sane gun laws, people. We just need a little sanity.

Writer from Pittsburgh even though I write about Philadelphia. Go figure.
