Hello, June; may you be good to us.

Tomorrow is the day! ⚠️

Playing around with a bit of journaling through Substack

It’s telling how many of the large news organizations who are flush with money aren’t sending journalists to cover ICE (and now state trooper) violence overnight outside Delaney Hall and the independent outlets with far less financial and insurance coverage are braving it.

Kentucky Shakespeare in the Park is back for another season in Central Park, Louisville. Enjoyed As You Like It tonight. Perfect weather.

Glad they moved WFPK Waterfront Wednesday to today. Perfect weather!

Be ready for low visibility early Thursday! 🌁 24/7 weather: wave3.com/weathernow

I can no longer teach with confidence or a straight face that in America no one is above the law, or, that the Rule of Law will prevail at the highest levels of our justice system.

My Bill from Louisville! 🥰 Took this Friday night at M. Peppers in Louisville. Went to dinner with his parents to celebrate their 61st and our 40th wedding anniversaries. My FIL said, we have 100 years of marriage at this table; isn’t that something!

The race is set. To the exact extent Andy Barr is a simpering stooge pandering to the worst tendencies of the voters Charles Booker is a courageous leader exhorting those voters to believe in their best selves. This race shouldn’t be close. The fact that it might be is to our shame.

Memorial Day. We honor those who gave all. 13 Americans killed and hundreds wounded in Trump’s Iran war—a conflict he campaigned against, then waged. Calling for boots on the ground means putting boots IN the ground. Honor the fallen by demanding leaders who choose peace. 🇺🇸

Thomas Massie and I don’t agree on much. But billionaires and special interest groups spent $35 million in Kentucky to unseat one conservative congressman — all because he stood up to Trump. It’s everything that's wrong with our politics today.

If you’re in Louisville and missing your dog, he showed up shivering on my steps and is now warm and comfy and perfectly sweet.

Anxiety has been through the roof lately. Meds, meditation, breathing, walking are not getting it. 😟

Love it!

WTF, Kentucky people? Don’t want to know about them pedophiles after all, do you?! 🤬

Ring the bell because for the first time ever: Jim Cramer is stunned silent. Just like the rest of us, he’s seeing the President commit insider trading right in front of our very eyes.

As we prepare for the grand finale of Stephen Colbert on CBS, hear ye now the words of the poet and thespian, John Lithgow.

Earlier this week our 5-year-old granddaughter said she was looking for the perfect house with a REAL balcony you can ACTUALLY walk out on, as we were driving up to her great grandparents’ house. 😂 can see her walking out on her balcony in her Disney princess dresses.

Will be married 40 years next week. Didn’t appreciate it when the priest read The Velveteen Rabbit for our wedding sermon. I didn’t appreciate it at the time, but have grown to understand it. Unfortunately, I’m the one with worn parts in the scenario while he’s as active as ever.

CARTOON OF THE DAY (From @dennisgoris.bsky.social )

Walked to vote early and decided to stop for a treat

Not always easy to remember

I saw a bit about this on Nextdoor app. 😬

Our kids threw a small family birthday dinner party for their daddy’s 60th with a Dia de los Muertos theme 😂, table set up in his memory. Great Mexican foods, pineapple upside down cake (his fav) and game playing after. Fun night.

It's Pelvic Pain Awareness Month. Nearly 1 in 3 women in primary care has a pelvic floor disorder — yet screening for prolapse and sexual dysfunction remains inconsistent, and half of referred patients arrive at specialty care with no prior treatment. Earlier referral to pelvic PT changes outcomes.

A house a few doors down from my childhood home was left with trash in yard by homeowners who couldn’t keep up on mortgage. My dad blaming FHA loans. Um, daddy our first house was under an FHA loan& many people I know were the same….Good lord, my parents are losing all empathy for anyone struggling.

Louisville: St John Center is slated to lose $117,000 in the FY27 budget. I know better than anybody what this would mean. PLEASE take time to email your council person and ask them to restore funding. Sample language is below and you can find your council person here: apps.lojic.org/metrocouncil...

Feeling bad for stooped over lady, trying to get in for her dr appointment, being turned away as her new insurance requires a referral. She could pay $250 out of pocket, but just spent several hundred on meds. So slowly hobbled out the door to make phone call to primary care.

Ravioli sold at Costco is under a public health alert for undeclared shellfish. Here’s what to know and what to do if you have it.

“This absolutely equates to banishment of a class of citizens, the unhoused, and therefore, the statute is unconstitutional on its face, as there is no conceivable situation in which it would survive Constitutional scrutiny,” the Court ruled. www.lpm.org/news/2026-05...

Very good article. www.salon.com/2026/03/24/m... My wife and I, our two homes, both paid for, are county assessor, 'Transfer on Death' to our son. Our checking and savings accounts are, 'Payable on Death' as well to him. No will needed.

Everything in the world isn’t his fault. But everything he does is worthy of blame. And prison.

So happy for her and for Jose Ortiz

Listen to this, outstanding reporting by Allan Piper….

Louisville peeps, anyone familiar with Whiskey Thief in NuLu? Not seeing any sort of menu. Do they have NA options? And I don’t mean Coca Cola or such, as I don’t drink soft drinks.
