I'm loving The Conners, Season 3. (Minor spoiler)

Laurie Metcalf rocking the silver-gray hair is a hoot! I stopped dyeing my hair when I turned 70 and it's just a washed-out brown six years later.

We are rehoming our Russian tortoise and I am sad.

We bought it seven years ago as a birthday present for our granddaughter, but it's always lived at our house. She is 15 now, and lost interest in Shelly years ago.

Petsmart is going to take him back, and find him a new home. Maybe he will get to meet more of his own kind! I'm happy for him, but I will miss the daily routine of feeding him and fixing his lights and all. I'll be glad to reclaim the space in my dining room.

I keep humming this song today.

If I weren't an atheist, I'd think Ruth and God be like...

There, in a hospital room, the facade crumbles and the ugly truth is bared.

Tonight there are doctors and nurses bustling about the room of a fat old man with thin stringy hair, splotchy skin, a scowling mouth, and puffy eye slits.

No fancy comb-over, no spray tan, no super-long tie to hide his gut. A hospital gown that barely covers his ass, maybe. Hooked up to IV's and monitors.

Just an evil fool who thought he was more than he was.

The very BEST news I heard today! My niece's wife is

pregnant with twins. I love these two young women. They invited me to join them for the first Women's March and we walked ten miles around D.C. with our signs.

I do really like this day.

Holding my breath till we know the Bidens' test results.

If Shithead and his unmasked entourage gave it to the good guys, they'll say, "See? Masks don't protect you." We know this is false, but they will dig it in with glee.

Just watched Cuties. No spoilers.

This is not a movie that promotes or glamorizes underage sexuality. It is a semi-documentary about one girl's yearning to belong, and the naïveté that makes her fail to recognize important boundaries.

Her home life and school life are worlds apart, and juggling them is hard. The ads for the movie focus on the dancing, but dance is not sex. Music and dance have saved many a child from loneliness, and that's really what this movie is about.
