Went to the rally in my small hometown (second of the day), without flags, posters, nor costume, but really enjoyed the power of waving. Got so many drivers to wave back at the last minute. (and a few troglodytes just waving back with one finger....) NO KINGS!

It is very hard, very sad, but every soul lives on as long as we have and share memories of them. We, too, said goodbye to our Jill on Friday after fifteen years. Still getting used to the quiet around the house....

My annual fanboy post for Women's History Month:
Babe Didrickson Zahariaus is one of my heroes, and the greatest athlete of the 20th century. She excelled in basketball, baseball, track & field (winning a team championship despite being the only player), and golf - one of the founders of the LPGA.

Most people know Walter Mosley as the author of the Easy Rawlins series, which is also great to read. I've read about half, and still working my way through the years, but LT is still my favorite.

For those readers not familiar with Walter Mosley, I highly recommend his Leonid McGill series, starting with THE LONG FALL....

My lovely wife got a copy of Red Side Story by Jasper Fforde the other day. But we are going to re-read (or listen to) Shades of Grey first. Great book, and not to be confused with the suburban porn series of a similar title....

Great books conversation at friends' house last night with Thanksgiving dessert. I highly recommended (again) The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern, among others. @erinmorgenstern.bsky.social.

I like the sequel, Muppet Aliens, better: yes, Miss Piggy kicking alien ass as Ripley, but with Kermit as Hicks, Gonzo as Hudson, Fozzy as Bishop, and Janice as Vasquez, "Let's ROCK!"
