At the gym, and everyone’s chattering and grumpy And English. Neil Diamond comes on the radio, at the chorus I yell “Everybody!” And soon we’re all singing “Sweet Caroline, bah bah bah!”. He is the great uniter.

My husband records random Hallmark movies. Last night we watched Mystery Island. I immediately identified the lead as being in Agents of SHIELD. But it took me longer to realize the love interest was Ben from Buffy Season 5. We need a Six Degrees game for this stuff.

Sure, the world is burning. But I’m editing the second Vivien Brandt mystery and can’t remember if Sara’s bedroom pillows are turquoise or teal. The life of a writer.

I've read most of the analyses of the DOGE 2025 "receipts" site. This, from NPR, is the best I've read so far. Some of what they claim to have cut haven't been cut, other "cuts" will incur costs down the road. NPR says DOGE has made $2B of cuts, not $55B. www.npr.org/2025/02/19/n...

The irony of the richest man in the world almost single-handedly destroying an agency designed to help the world’s poor, so that the U.S. federal budget has more room for another giant tax cut for the richest man in the world and his pals, should not be lost on anyone. [Cartoon by Mike Luckovich]

Just watched a bad film called Roses are Red, Blood is Too. We should have known better. Best dialogue: “He’s dead!” “Who did it?” “How do I know?”
