Hey MA friends. As you know, I have long covid, so the ability to mask with a well fitting respirator in public is essential to my health. (My docs all agree that I must avoid getting COVID again.) There’s a bill coming up in the MA legislature that has some troubling language. Please read 👇🏼

Well said and done. RIP Mr. Redford.
Many will have a more comprehensive look at his career. I wanted to do something short on the elusiveness he gave to his characters that made them interesting conundrums rather than a blank
No role exemplified this better than 1973’s “The Way We Were." Hubbell, you absolute coward!

I've been on a WKRP IN CINCINNATI re-watch, and so much of that show was hilarious. So much talent in writing and line delivery. Laughs I needed this week.
