My Wordle "bot analysis" today. The @nytimes.com average was only a tad better for "turns to find the solution," even though I shellacked the average for skill.
Again demonstrating that it’s better to be lucky than good.

Cellphone in a rocker at a nearby table where Pegi and I ate lunch in Tokyo.
Such rockers, I found out, enable passive step counting, so users can pull fast ones on a company’s health-insurance incentives.
Don’t have a cat or dog to strap your phone to to reach your daily step goals?! No problem!

Yes, but I can explain…
See, I wrote and directed this film, THE BRIDE & GOON, and these are the actors, Linnae Budusky, Alex Seidner, and Juan Cardenas, who played the main characters.
You gotta believe me!!

Less than 5 min after i snapped this photo in Kobe Kitanocho (Japan), some guy returned my passport, which I didn’t know was missing!
It’s like some part of me is trying to make it hard to leave Japan!
