Having an afternoon coffee at a cafe in Rome in August 2015, dear husband says, “don’t turn around, but I think that’s Diane Keaton at the next table.” Sure enough, dressed in that inimitable DK style and gossiping about how certain directors were just a nightmare to work with. Wow, just wow.

ALX skeeters - our ASO Family Concert, Symphony in Space, is FREE this year, and great fun for the whole family. On Saturday, January 31, but don’t wait to reserve your free tickets (at link below) as these tickets are flying off the shelves (so to speak).

The college student convinced me to watch K-Pop Demon Hunters and I thought it was really terrific. Am now officially turning in my boomer card, on which I only had a tenuous hold (with one foot in GenX) anyway.

As if irony isn’t already dead, the Hatch Act violation on the DOJ website, which blames Democrats for the shutdown, appears on the page advising DOJ employees they are subject to the Hatch Act.

So tomorrow night our beloved Red Sox will be helmed by a pitcher who has pitched no more than 20 innings in his nascent major league career starting in the highest-stakes playoff scenario. If that doesn’t give off 42nd Street-type vibes, I don’t know what does.

Yes: Directionally right, but underestimated the speed and scale of the collapse. Main error: assuming SCOTUS would defend the law, maintain guardrails.

Both illegal and (one more) backdoor impoundment. “Non-essential” does not mean that money was not appropriated for this work. If this logic holds, any President who wants to downsize government would simply engineer a shutdown
