What I did for today...

has seen exactly one film nominated in any Oscar category, and it was terrible. Except for Isabella Rossellini.

made chili for his congregation’s annual chili cook off.

What I did for today...

kind of aspires to be the Parker Posey character on The White Lotus. Or maybe he just aspires to be whatever character Parker Posey is playing in whatever she's in.

always finds it both amusing and troubling when someone refers to him as a "religious reporter" or "the religious correspondent."

What I did for today…

Completely worth your notice…

What I did for this morning…

dislikes football beyond the telling and resents greatly that the NYT Mini Crossword today required stupid sports trivia to solve it.

is making this dish for supper tonight.

Reminds you that actual self-respect emerges from hard work and competence and taking responsibility for your mistakes, not from complaining that others don't respect you.

is in Palm Springs to observe his 50th birthday this weekend. Also here this weekend is something called the Spirit Sports Grand Nationals. Turning 50 is great. Thousands of little girls in heavy makeup is disconcerting beyond the telling.

has had a string of terrible TV experiences recently. Thankfully, all three seasons of _The Bionic Woman_ (1976-1978) are now available to stream. Lindsay Wagner's wardrobe is stellar.

What I did for today…

has been re-reading Joan Didion’s book about the death of her daughter (_Blue Nights_) each night before falling asleep in order to disconnect from the ongoing situation.

Wow. _Star Trek: Section 31_ is unwatchable. Was the script written by lowest-bidder AI? The plot is the unwanted child of Where in the World is Carmen San Diego, Oceans 11, and Mission Impossible.

What I did for this morning:

Wow, the writing on The Night Agent season 2 is terrible.

Apparently had even more to say…at about the halfway point in this podcast.

What I did on the matter…

What I did for this afternoon…

Here's a speech worth listening to today.

has moved here from all the other ones, which don’t deserve his bons mots.
