Captain Dreyer in the Laundry Room with the Blue Pencil!

submitted 14 hours ago • 0 comments

It seems Trump wants Natasha Bertrand ‘FIRED’ (or, in his gracious phrasing, ‘thrown out like a dog’) for reporting what US Intel AND now, increasingly, Intel from Israel, say: his Big Bombs may have only set back Iranian nuclear weapons-making by months. Lies and bluster CAN come back to bite you.

I really like that ‘Inscribed for’ … does anyone use that today?

How dare leakers tell the world that the President blustered and lied!?

Well worth reading IF you’ve seen the film which is so worth seeing. Bookmark for later?. SORCERER is also an early casualty of the damage STAR WARS did to American cinema. (Yes, I went there. This morning’s Unpopular Opinion. And yes, if it hadn’t been Lucas, it would have been someone else.)

Same, but it is a hahasob. What’s the apt Groucho line? ‘Trump has the brain of a four year old and I bet he doesn’t miss it.’

Bravo, Eric! Let’s open a bottle of Chateau d’Yquem and celebrate your exquisite egalitarianism together! Perhaps with some caviar?

Is this lovely poem also the most notorious literary howler as to history? Even if ‘stout Balboa’ sounds funny by now. (And yes, we know about the anachronistic clock in Julius Caesar.)

Endorsing as to the 2 shingles vaxes for all who can. Shingles can be brutal, have friends who weathered extreme pain with it, and not just for a short time.

Me to savvy friend: TRUMP IS VERY MAD AT ISRAEL AND IRAN! Savvy friend: That will take care of it.

One of the things about The Observer, Marina Endicott’s newest, is that she doesn’t treat ordinary lives as needing to ‘mean something’ she deems them worthy of her (and our) attention.

‘Yellow and Red: Picton Harbour’

It feels so strange to share a quote about Billy Wilder with friends who’ll appreciate it, while also exchanging thoughts about Iran and Trump. Has happened before, the disconnect of our lives in such times as this

Yes. Add that he bragged that Fordlow was utterly destroyed when his own Intel people were saying WAY too early to assess — which was obvious. He blusters and bullshits. Whatever the reality of Iran at 60% enrichment (NO peaceful reason for it, if so) America is led by a fool at a dangerous time.

Inspiration, or the lack of it, can also be an excuse. I quote Richard III ‘We are not in the giving vein today.’

Son just bought a pair of JAWS socks to honour the 50th. I approve of the sentiment.

Writing tip: As a writer, it's essential to find your voice. Have you tried your jacket pockets? Have you looked in the car? Perhaps it's on the nightstand or the bathroom sink? Have you checked on top of your head?

Ted Cruz "hates communists" because Cuban President Fulgencio Batista, who was *not* a communist, imprisoned and tortured Cruz's father for helping Fidel Castro, who *was* a communist and who freed Cruz's father from the non-communist prison. Proving, once again, that Cruz speaks absolute rubbish.

Soon to fare fiercely (not really) forth to do my talk and reading for Picton’s Books & Company hosted by the Royal Hotel’s Annex, their event space (NOT in the main hotel, it is around the corner on Shaw). There will be no bagpipes or ukuleles. Unless, you know, someone smuggles one in. (Don’t?)

It has now come to my attention that there seem to be people as much or more frightened by banjos or accordions as they are by ukuleles. I don’t know where to send them for help!

www.cbc.ca/books/what-c... Really nice. Thank you, all. Bestseller lists now bundle original trade paperbacks and hardcovers, sometimes at twice the price, so seems WotD is also #1 hardcover book. Am deeply grateful.

Event Friday at 6:30 for Books & Company (31st year for them!) in Picton, hosted in the Royal Hotel. I’ll read, talk, sign, refrain from singing Nessun Dorma. Besides, the County is lovely. Perfect weekend escape.

Me: [informs brother our Yankees have set an all time baseball record… 3 straight games with 0 runs and 10+ strikeouts] Bro: We’re going to bust out tonight! We’re going to score a run! (He’s the youngest. Maybe the most innocent. Or just very funny.)
