Pope Francis, whom I always affectionately called PappaF, has left the building. In my lifetime, he was my favorite pope. And I will always love the emojis created for his first visit to the US.

The Swede and I have been enjoying these series. What are you watching?
Actor Colman Domingo in a dark coat against a red abstract background. White text at bottom of the image says “The Madness”. This is a promo image for the Netflix series. Orange background with the Golden Gate Bridge framed in a circular cutout. Actor Ted Danson poses as if caught pointing at someone or something. The phrase “A Man on the Inside” is at the top of the image. This is a promo image for the Netflix series. Keira Knightley and Ben Whishaw pose with guns pointing at the ground against a wintry London backdrop. The words Black Doves in bold red letters is in the upper right corner. It’s a promo image for the Netflix series. Actor Aldis Hodges wearing a jacket with the word “DETECTIVE” across his back. His expression is stern as he looks over his right shoulder. A yellow police tape bears the word “CROSS” – which is the name of the series he is starring in on Amazon Prime.

My mom also suggested who should play Nina and Hannes in the present-day timeline in the movie in my mind. Her suggestions? Sanaa Lathan and Mads Mikkelsen.

So I’m working on a new book. It’s one I started working on before my mom died. When Mom was still with us, I asked her who should play Francine and Johannes (in 1960s timeline) in the movie in my mind. Her response? Young Eartha Kitt and Paul Newman.
