DETROIT _ Thank you, #TylerPerry, for this, for your work and for your continuing vision that makes us visible. And thanks to the women who made a difference for honor, rather than glory. bit.ly/SixTriple8

Another wake-up call for how Hollywood films are made. #JudeLaw kills the dream of anyone staying in the cottage in #TheHoliday, one of the best Christmas movies ever made.

When folks say the Internet is the greatest and worst invention in history, they are right. Can't do without it. But I sometimes want a reset button for the whole system. This morning, I could not log in to my #NYTimes account because I type 200 words a minute and, well, most humans don't.

DETROIT _ Couldn't sleep so I watched #TaronEgerton do a #TomCruiseImitation running through LAX to stop a terrorist. Yep, #CarryOnMovie on @Netflix was really good.

DETROIT _ I spent 12 hours in airports and on planes to get back for the Lions-Bills games, leaving 70 degrees for 40 degrees and hope.

But I forgot to wear my #AidanHutchinson shirt to Ford Field.

I'm sorry.

TUCSON _ I’ve admired Kim Fields for many reasons over the years. Now I have one more. Her #RefreshRetreat was one of the best experiences I’ve ever had. Rest is necessary. Self-care is necessary. #HaveYourOwnBack!

No one lives forever, that we know of, but there are those we wish would. Nikki Giovanni is one of those for me. Her passing affects me deeply, but knowing that her words will live on soothes the grief.

DETROIT _ The double scarf I’ve been wearing for the past month, which may or may not predict the 2025 Super Bowl. (it’s from the Lions-Chiefs London game a decade ago).
