I hate it when I'm missing 2 letters & there are endless possibilities. This could have ended badly, but I finally solved the Wordle in 6. And how did you do? Wordle #1,479 6/6. 🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩.🟩⬜⬜⬜🟩.🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩.🟩⬜🟩⬜🟩.🟩⬜🟩🟩🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩.

I won't complain about tonight's Wordle, since I solved it in 3 (an improvement over last night's 5). But is it my imagination or were the words trickier this week? Anyway, and how did you do? Wordle #1,478 3/6. ⬜⬜🟩🟩🟨.⬜🟩🟩🟩⬜.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩.

Took my husband out for his birthday dinner, and we had a very pleasant time. It's so important to find moments of joy whenever you can, especially in times like these.

Since it came up in conversation, today is my husband's birthday. His name is Jon Jacobik, & I sometimes post his award-winning nature photos. He's one of the good guys. πŸ’•Here's a photo of him during his trip to Alaska to visit his sister.

It's my husband's birthday, and to celebrate it, I went from a 6 to a 3 in Wordle; I hope he gets a good score too. In fact, I hope the Wordle gods are kind to everyone tonight. And how did you do? Wordle #1,476 3/6. ⬜⬜🟨⬜🟩.⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩.

The only good thing about this is at least all the GOP pols who swore they'd vote against it, but who suddenly changed their mind after they got photos & merch from POTUS, have to sell out their constituents in the daylight, rather than the dark of night.

Didn't get a 3 in tonight's Wordle, or a 4 or a 5. With the letters I had, felt relieved to get a 6. But hey, a win is a win. And how did you do? Wordle #1,475 6/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩.⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩.⬜🟩⬜⬜🟩.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩.

Nice new interview with Sam Dunn, who co-produced "Beyond the Lighted Stage." Cool photos of Geddy, Alex, & Neil, great stories about Rush's career, etc. Here's the link:

For those having a frustrating & disappointing day, I'd like to offer you a timeline cleanse: a bit of philosophy from my new blog post. It's about what we can learn from playing Wordle. Your comments are welcome.

Sometimes it's logic, and sometimes it's luck, and tonight it was a little of both; and that let me solve the Wordle in 3 again. Glad it turned out that way! And how did you do? Wordle #1,473 3/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜🟨🟨⬜⬜.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩.

I was quite shocked that I solved the Wordle in 3 tonight. I basically took a wild guess, and to my surprise, that was the word. It rarely happens like that, but I'll take it! And how did you do? Wordle #1,472 3/6. ⬜⬜⬜⬜⬜.⬜🟩⬜⬜⬜.🟩🟩🟩🟩🟩.

And I just want to reiterate that, in my opinion, President Reagan's decision to end the Fairness Doctrine was a disaster for our democracy. It paved the way for one-sided, partisan broadcasters.

On June 25, 2010, in front of a cheering crowd, Rush received their much-deserved star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. I had been part of a committee working to make it happen, & the band asked me to give a speech. Photo by Neil's friend Craig Renwick.
