Waiting for the administration to say the spike in gas prices isn't actually a big deal because so many Americans are losing their jobs and won't have to drive to work anymore.

Dinner tonight is brie en croute with apricot jam and salad or me eating a wheel of brie from one hand drinking straight from a bottle with the other. It's 50/50 right now.

My paternal grandfather was a 1st generation American who rose to be Vice President at Rauland (Zenith). My maternal grandfather was a numismatist. I get my white privilege from my mother's side, obviously.

I Saw Firsthand What Having a Small Business Does to a Family. From That Moment On, I Made a Vow. Now Iโ€™m Rethinking Everything. I know the sacrifices it requires.

We got lots of good questions for my advice column this week. 1: I want more freedom. Should I start my own business?
2: President of new company rushed to lay people off. Flee?
3: How get boss to stop micromanaging and doing LW's job?
4: How can a new manager handle a constant complainer?

I'd accept the bribe. And then tell everyone. But "Shhh, it's a secret. You didn't hear it from me."

Stefon Diggs thanks the Patriots. A source says the Patriots have informed him he will be released at the start of the league year. Ties to finances, as cap charge was spiking from $10.5m to $26.5m.

I tell people that if the government is covering up the existence of aliens, NASA is absolutely not involved, because astrobiologists can't keep a secret to save their lives

I can sleep anywhere; I fall asleep while taxiing on a plane. I sleep restlessly in hotels. It's not you. And you are not an imposter.

One more thing. If you're interested in this or any book, the best thing you can do to help it find an audience is to preorder it. It's shocking how much they can propel a work into literary (and civic) conversation.

The other best thing is to ask your libraries to get it.
