Here's how we get Medicare for All done: Make Medicare whole (no one can keep all the parts straight!) Include vision, dental, and hearing. Begin extending to more people, starting with children. We arrive at Medicare for All, which means great Medicare for everyone.

Pretty sure our cat Gabby is suffering PTSD and is highly reactive to the slightest sudden noise. I think she blames me for last week's thunder and rain.

I, too, have ridden in the back of an SUV. Except it was a station wagon, we called it the "wayback", and I was seven years old.

Adding to the ginger plant for this week's batch of ginger beer. Each evening for six days, I add grated ginger and two teaspoons of raw sugar. On Sunday, I will add spring water and the fresh juice of a lemon, and bottle twelve 16-ounce bottles.

The problem with good sunscreen is that it prevents the development of a good cyclist's tan. That and not really riding enough.

The fact that we almost did not get this movie about a little guy taking on a corporation focused only on profit because the studio decided to axe it for short term profit is frankly too much for me right now.

I lived for a minute in 1980 in Iowa. Ted Kennedy came to town for a presidential campaign appearance and joked something to the effect that he loved Iowa, or, "as we say back East, Ohio."

There was a time in my family — 1950s and '60s — when someone would start a reel-to-reel tape recorder and record hours of normal activity, e.g. making and eating breakfast, or a birthday party. I have digitized several, now. Who were these recordings for? Me, I guess.

I woke up with an awful sore throat, so I had a cup of ginger-honey tea instead of coffee, and another cup later in the day. Then I had a splitting headache, which I just realized may be caffeine withdrawal.

Sure, fund the Iran war — take the funds allocated to ICE, zero it out — and reassign all of the Iceholes roaming our streets to a new "warfighter" unit.

Instead of sending detained immigrants and U.S. Citizens to detention camps in Texas, ICE is locking them in movie theaters to watch "Melania." Civil Rights groups have sued, claiming this violates the 8th Amendment prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishments."

We all recognize that every accusation from the Right is a confession. It is perhaps a trivial truthism to say that every accusation is also an inoculation.
