Watching Etoile makes me very homesick for New York, New York.

Would be great if media could focus on the fact that every imported good—& everything with imported components—will be affected by the tariffs. Our whole economy. Not just dolls, pencils, whatever else he rants about. This doll conversation shows how weird he is, but isn’t really the point at all.

For Valentine's Day, I'm getting a dozen eggs instead of a dozen roses -- and I feel fine :-) Eggs are the new truffles.

People marvel -- why do I still write letters (snail mail). So much life rushes by us, we're squeezed thin by time and pressure, 1000s of demands. The act of writing a letter to someone is capturing a moment in time and space. Cheever said letters are kisses.

Pretty damn good framing for Dems

I was honored by the Kennedy Center for my play JUNK BONDS. Now I’m deeply saddened and horrified by the purging of the board who represented bipartisan support of the arts.

The CFPB is one of the American people’s best defenses against waste, fraud, and abuse. Demolishing it will, of course, lead to more waste, fraud, and abuse.

Score! Willem Dafoe and Catherine O’Hara for Michelob Light making old people look good! Ooh I liked that Nike commercial with the female superstar athletes to Led Zeppelin's "Whole Lotta Love"
