Central Florida suffers from restaurants which routinely underestimate the time my orders will take by 400 or 500% and the time spent sitting waiting for their failed promises is turning me into a minor arch-criminal.

I like the idea of the Mets getting a good haul from the Red Sox in a Senger trade. "Who is this guy? We wanted Senga."

An Amazon listing entitled: β€œFlymind Safe Keychain Set for Girls with Personal Safety Alarm, Hand Sanitizer Holder, Whistle and Pom - Rating 4.5”

There is a circle of images surrounding an image of the keychain itself. Those images are captioned anticlockwise as follows:

β€œFor students
For gifts
For women alone
For elderly
For outdoor sports
For potential murder”

All the images are stock photos apart from β€œFor potential murder” which is an unsettling illustration of a wide-eyed face being gagged by a hand from behind.

Was just browsing handy keychains for my daughter and this took a dark and unexpected turn.

Screenshot of a Facebook post from Gainesville, Florida mayor Harvey Ward: 

β€œGoogle tells me that there is a city called Shahrud in northeastern Iran. 

About the same number of people live there as live in Gainesville. There is a university there. The people of Shahrud don’t seem to be in the path of the war yet. 

Their mayor is a man named Mohsen Ahmadi. I don’t know anything about him, other than that his neighbors will look to him again today to provide some sense of stability in a senseless and unstable time.

Every morning I pray for wisdom and guidance. This morning I pray that same wisdom and guidance for Mayor Mohsen Ahmadi. May peace be upon him, and you.”

It was going on one, two in the morning, and we were shooting what I felt was an important scene for me, when he makes an attempt to be quote-unquote straight, in a suit, and at the end of it he gets emotional and locks himself in the other room. And I felt like, I’m not getting what I wantβ€”I’m not happy with it. Mike was happy with it. He called me the next day and said, β€œI know you weren’t happy with the scene last night. Believe me, we wouldn’t have gone home if I had felt we weren’t getting it.” And then he sort of became my psychiatrist and said, β€œYou find it difficult to be happy, don’t you? You find it difficult to enjoy things.” And I said, β€œWell, sometimes. Last night was about feeling too tired and not feeling I was reaching what I needed to reach for the scene.” He talked to me then about when he was making, I don’t know whether it was Virginia Woolf or The Graduate. He said, β€œI didn’t enjoy it for a second. I was worried about so many things.” And then he said, β€œYou know, this is never going to happen again quite this way. You should try to allow yourself to enjoy this more. Take a minute a day, and then add a minute the next day, and another minute. Pretty soon, you’ll have hours of happiness.”

The Birdcage opened thirty years ago today, so in its honor, I want to share one of my favorite stories about Mike Nichols that didn't make it into my biography. This is from an interview I did with Nathan Lane.

Going through a crowded, bustling, Publix lot earlier we stopped to let a young man cross who was carrying a helium "Happy Women's Day" balloon, a few roses, and a cake. We thanked him for his service.

President Trump remarks on plans for Cuba at "Shield of the Americas" summit in Florida: "Cuba's in its last moments of life as it was. It'll have a great new life…That'll be an easy one."

He added: "I'm not learning your damn language. I don't have time."
