Here’s the scoop on AJ Brown’s book:

Please tell me what AJ Brown was reading. #FlyEaglesFly

Also of note, TB stating that he hadn’t seen that many people reading…didn’t specify on the sidelines or just in general.

Don’t forget about calling Philadelphia the Phillies. SMH.

Philly area teacher went on TikTok asking for help to get a school bus to take her kids on a tour of the Eagles stadium….Kylie Kelce came through in the clutch 💪

Death by a thousand substacks If you’re not a breadwinner, you’re the yeast.

"Substack has become the Amazon of publishing. It offers the consensual hallucination of independence and ownership while deceivingly consolidating control and dictating the terms of success for sellers (i.e. you, the writers)."

Then, he went out to the truck and brought in a color wheel and actually helped me pick the new color. After an evening of anxiety and worry, he responded with kindness. I am so grateful for him today.

Painter shows up today and I broach the subject. He agrees with my issue and says that since he still has several more coats to do, we can pick a new color and all I have to do is pay for the new paint.

Best customer service - we’re having our cabinets repainted and I chose a color. Turns out, in the light, the gray actually looks lavender. I was heartbroken. How can I pay for the job to be redone? Will the painter be mad or laugh at me for being dumb? I had heart palpitations all night worrying.

I’m really into comfort books and tv these days. Just watched the new #Matlock and it was just what I need. Kathy Bates makes you root for her so hard.

I teach #Pilates in my home studio and also via zoom for privates and also classes through a local community college. Today I had a guest teacher. Cleo is pretty strict on form.

Last of my dahlias with a couple of chrysanthemums.

I post about health (I’m a cancer survivor / my mom has dementia), gardening (we live on a 7-acre farm in PNW), flowers, Pilates, my cat, books, sports (Dodgers, Eagles, Chiefs, Kelce brothers) and some politics (Blue in a Red rural town).

Cleo says “hi.”

An example of Acción Ortográfica Quito doing the Lord's work (graffiti on a wall corrected with red spray paint)

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.

I’m loving Matlock. So happy it’s already been renewed.

America lost again.

Shrinking on AppleTV.

That canceled tv show you’ll never stop thinking about (I mean, we all know about Firefly and That So-Called Life, but what are some others?)

Chart showing Trump with the lowest popular vote margin of any recent winning president. 1.9 percent compared to George W Bush at 2.4 percent.

This is not a mandate.

Looks like Jack Sparrow’s long lost brother.

Also, maybe not my all-time favorite, but probably the one I’ve seen the most often.

I’m sure I’m going to die from something that could have been avoided with a vaccine.

There it is

Love you to the moon and back!

Happiest birthday wishes, my friend. Xo

In dark times, I have trouble focusing so I read in short bursts. Sometimes I read magazines, romance and cozy mysteries to get back in the groove. Then, I can get into historical fiction and darker mysteries. It’s a process. Also helps if my cat, Cleo is sitting next to me or on me.
