Retired lawyer whose best job ever was in the recreation department of a mental institution. Though that place and the legal profession are often hard to tell apart. I like to write jokes. Warning: Occasional puns.
Last night I watched an episode of Naked City (1963). Great show the doesn't use stereotypical characters. Plus, you get to see actors when they were young. Last night the main character roles were played by Peter Fonda and Martin Sheen. Last week we saw William Shatner played a deranged artist.

I love Lempicka, and that general style. I haven't been to the National Portrait Gallery in DC in years, but they had some paintings in that style. Somewhat similar - the man and horse in front of the Federal Trade Commission building, which I walked past every day (I worked there).

Trump told Sen. Schumer he wants Penn Station and Dulles Airport named after him. Schumer should counter with - "How about one of DC's oldest institutions, St. Elizabeth's Mental Hospital?"
