Right now, visits from my tiny circle of friends are exactly what I need (it's a difficult time for me). George RR Martin (he’s roadtripping with Michael Cassutt; was great to meet him!) stopped by last night and got to meet my space cats. 😊 Ah, cats and friends. They are joy.

It’s good to stay in shape and eat healthy but you also need to be reading. Get a library card. Find a book that appeals to you. Spend a few minutes reading before bed. Your brain will thank you, and you’ll be pleasantly shocked at the joy that books bring.

Every time I glance over at Doctor Who Twitter, I'm validated about stepping away from it. The current discourse: David Tennant is bad. Why? Because he played a villain one time. If that sounds like me being glib or simplifying it, I swear to you that's seriously what the "discourse" is right now.

If I were still on Twitter, I would've voted No. Only mad #DoctorWho haters would want Lunatic Laurence Fox to be the next incarnation (who'd end up being mediocre).
