I think this year's spring cleaning needs to include decluttering β€” or more like de-hoarding β€” boxes and boxes and boxes of anxiety that are taking up way too much head space and stopping me from focusing on what truly matters in life (whatever that may be).

Who's with me?

I adore and admire the talent and wonderful human being named Pink. It is so great that she and Kelly Clarkson seem to love each other so much; they are delightful together. Now, I want Pink to knock this week out of the park (and I have no doubt she will).

Excelsior!

Apparently, I am not as much of a diehard, yearslong Trekkie as I thought.

After the opera scene by Karim DianΓ©, I felt compelled to Google "quadri-testicles" β€” and, oh, I am learning so, so much more about the Klingon anatomy.

As Mr. Spock would say: fascinating.
