My father-in-law believed you should always keep your passport up-to-date in case you ever needed to leave the country in a hurry. Now I wonder if we shouldn't be keeping ours current just for another form of I.D.

Enjoying #MeMadeMay posts. I haven't made clothes in years, I do things like cloth shopping bags now, but other people here are doing lovely things.

I had no idea we were obsessed with avocados. Totally missed that.

If you are a Tucci fan, you may enjoy this #humor piece. If you are not a Tucci fan, you may enjoy it. If you can't eat most of the #food he talks about, this one's definitely for you. muddyum.net/my-dinner-wi...

Are you all aware that Stanley Tucci has a new #foodandtravel show coming out in a couple of days? I'm looking forward to it. And, well, I have some thoughts that were just published at Muddy 'Um. #humor #blueskyhumor medium.com/muddyum/my-d...

If you're going to watch Murderbot on Apple TV, consider adding it to your watchlist. It's kind of like pre-ordering a book, it tells the streaming service that you're there for our show. Link for US viewers: tv.apple.com/us/show/murd... (You can also search for it on the app.)

Financial advice in distressing times: -Move to a small cottage with four bedrooms and two servants -Make up for the low rent by performing upon the pianoforte to your annoying landlords -Give up sugar and beef, subsisting only on the occasional present of game from your insufferable half brother
