CARROTMARM

CARROTMARM

Helpful Spelling Bee tip it took me years to learn: Any time you have a compound word ending in -MAN (CONMAN, OATMAN, CARROTMAN), you can also score for the -MARM version!

The Spielberg/Kushner collaboration has been so fruitful. The last two in particular have been incredible.

One of my favorite kinds of Philly days is when it's sunny out of nowhere and we all amble down to the river with our dogs and books, rubbing our eyes, in need of a haircut, frowning at the dead leaves and sticks like astronauts just landed on a ravaged alien world.
