Something about the cold, about the time of year, makes me miss old friends and cigarettes and glasses of
bourbon. I'd like to be drinking and smoking and hanging out with Gene right now.

My first trip out of the house in ten days, and I seem to have picked up a cold from my contact with the teeming hordes. Lovely. I'm ready to be done with sickness and tiredness.

I'm getting old, because the excitement of my day was buying a robot to clean the floors. Now our Roomba has a friend Scooba.

Dwight R. DeLee shot and killed Moses "Teish" Cannon with a .22-caliber rifle Friday night because he didn't like that Cannon was openly gay, Syracuse police said.

These things are real and they are happening and they matter. I don't care how you do it, but I care that you fight this. For the love of all that is good in this world, fight this.
