McGowan: There's three people mentioned most in the Epstein files: Jeffrey Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell and Donald Trump. But we're deposing Hillary Clinton?

Boswell book box has arrived. It is going to be a great reading weekend!

Still on my mount TBR.

Oh I hear you! I must have had an air bubble in my tubing yesterday because I couldn't get my sugar down in the morning. Pre-bolused for lunch but had to wait longer than usual. Got busy at work and forgot to eat. The low was not pretty.
