Seeing the shoe-buying spree, and remembering Reggie Love (Obama's asst) and Charlie Young (West Wing) doing personal shopping for their bosses.

Does DJT have a personal asst? Who is it? Or, how many has he gone through this year?

You know, once you get past the oligarchs and racists, normal humans are actually pretty good.

Very NYC moment there: showing my kid around campus on the day of the final Seinfeld episode, went there for lunch and saw Spike Lee in the back booth.

I'm sorry, but is this as misbegotten as I think it is?

This was the 2nd big (I mean BIG) unexpected loss -- the ice dance couple's loss was blamed not on a French judge but on the "EVIL" French team whose social lives were so obviously not appreciated by NBC -- just a reminder judging should consider performance on ice, not treatment of exes.

A โค๏ธ for your difficult day -- sad songs are the best for days like this. Made myself a whole playlist of "sad songs." Mabel Mercer, the McGarrigle sisters, Eva Cassidy . . .
unrequited love, departed love . . .

The killer for me is Mercer's 'Once in a blue moon

I shared your joy this morning -- front door iced shut since Sunday, tried back door and slid amusingly but somewhat terrifyingly to my knees [not a good look for a woman w/2 new hips]. My ex-neighbor (ex!) came over w/a hoe today as well, and is coming back at 1:30 to bring groceries!

There's a new (?) commercial out w/Boomer Esiason selling insurance and he looks, sounds, and is dressed just like the guy in the other insurance commercial about people becoming their parents.

And I looked it up because I thought they were the same person and now you also know they're not

Plus, isn't there a cadre of well-trained traffic light and telephone pole climbers here to act as observers?

Best case scenario, we (yes, I'm here) take a lesson from Portland and half the crowd starts showing up dressed as Gritty and the Phanatic.

Is it maybe also time to replace Noel and Allison? Or is that heresy?

Needing relaxation & catharsis myself, I, a 75-yo woman who doesn't watch the NFL, will be supporting Seattle on here tonight.
Because: My kid went to USC so I recognize Darnold's name; & 2) I live in Philadelphia & the Seahawk looks almost like the Eagle.

Desperation is as desperation does.
