My unconscious mind often makes suggestions in my dreams. I woke up today with an old Sesame Street song in my ear. The song was for Elmo, and it's called "Put Down The Duckie (If You Want to Play the Saxophone)."

My unconscious mind often makes suggestions in my dreams. I woke up today with an old Sesame Street song in my ear, and I looked it up just to be sure. Yes, yes it is to the point! The song was for Elmo, and it's called "Put Down The Duckie (If You Want to Play the Saxophone)."

And here I thought it was just me. I have been in a book group with a number of women friends for 20 years. I am finding it harder and harder to even *start* our monthly book now.

Where do you stand?

You can want solutions for the unhoused, you can want safer cities, but you can also be dead set against federalizing them and against military occupation.

I stand with DC!

I am so sorry for your loss. I hits especially hard when it is an age-mate for the first time. May her memory be a blessing.
