I watch a lot of #British TV. It seems like whenever someone is under stress, a character says, “I’ll put a kettle on,” or “Let’s have a cuppa.” What’s up with that? Can tea really make that big a difference? (Asking for… well, it’s just me.).

I’ve managed to Mute all the political posts. So now my feed is mostly animal videos: dogs, cars, sheep, cows, oh and bears. That’s good, right?.

Yesterday, I passed out in Starbucks. It was a bizarre experience. I felt woozy and headed for the restroom. I never made it. I fell into a woman in front of me, caught myself on the snack rack, and hit the deck. A heartfelt thanks to Faye from Miami, who took care of me.

My sister-in-law’s 93-year life just ended. She was warm, loving, and not too bright. Despite her shortcomings, she loved many and was loved by many in return.

One of my oldest and dearest friends lost his daughter tonight. She was the youngest of four and perhaps the brightest star in his galaxy. I am bereft.
