It's all fun and games until somebody gets hurt. Then it's fun and games and laughter

My mother used to coat them with the extra frosting when she made a birthday cake.

Of course not. It’s just that my son has been to so many political events in DC that he can predict what will happen, both with the protesters and security.

My son kept sinking baskets and walking on a low balance beam while wearing “drunk goggles” in third grade. The cops doing the exercise were NOT amused.

The committee will have a whole year to think about it.

On this date, Matthew Shephard died 27 years ago. He was beaten, tortured, and left for dead on fence for being gay. Please keep him and his wonderful mother Judy in your thoughts. And let's all work for a world where such horrific things do not happen to anyone. ❤️🏳️‍🌈

There was a part early in “Mare of Easttown” where Kate Winslet said “PECO is a public utility” and the way she dipthonged the O in “PECO” and swallowed every single consonant in “public utility” was a thing of beauty.

I feel like I’m with my cousins, who actually sound more like Tina Fey when she’s doing her Philly accent.

My son was there. When the first protester shouted out & was removed, he turned to his seatmate & said, “One down, 4 to go.” He then explained to her that he’d been to enough events in DC to know that the Gaza protesters come in groups of 5. He was right. Give people got thrown out of this event.
