5 April 2020: Daily Stuff

Humor:

Dogs are really wonderful, but cats? Something even more special about those beasts.

What does the J in donald j. trump stand for? Wrong answers only. I like Oranje, Jenius, Jurderer, and Joke.

Do you have the nerve to punk a sleeping child? Think carefully. I cry.

This is so true: the only real demons under your bed.

Lastly, bless leaders with humor. In this, I find myself loving Chicago mayor Lori Lightfoot even more. Scroll through all the sightings.

Lovely:

Belugas AND penguins. Makes me want to work at Shedd.

Wonderful offerings for those near and far:

Perhaps my favorite place in DC is the bookstore, Politics and Prose. It is so much more than a bookstore; it’s a community pillar, a touchstone, an educational outpost, a coffeeshop extraordinaire. In addition to offering free media mail shipping on all purchases how, it has also moved all author events to P&P Live! For just $5, you can watch some amazing conversations from home and support a literary, cultural institution while you’re at it.

Likewise, if you enjoy excellent yoga, Pilates, meditation, and yin yoga, consider registering at Circle Yoga, my favorite studio here. It’s done an amazing job transitioning classes to Zoom while continuing to fully support its teachers, staff, and community. I take two classes a week from my bedroom! They’re helping keep me sane and healthy.
