Congressman John Lewis came to the Barnes & Noble store in Annapolis where my husband worked. It was an honor to meet him & the artist, Andrew Aydin, who brought his story to life in a graphic novel.

I loved telling him how I met Martin Luther King, Jr. :

These glorious creatures are currently up for adoption at my store. A bonded pair of sisters, about three years old. They were surrendered when their owner passed away and no one else in the family could care for them. They are as sweet as they are beautiful. Don't you want to take them home?

You just never know who'll come shopping at my store.

CBS canceled Colbert’s show just THREE DAYS after Colbert called out CBS parent company Paramount for its $16M settlement with Trump – a deal that looks like bribery.

America deserves to know if his show was canceled for political reasons.

Watch and share his message.

It's going well, Doc! I'm loving my job, glad I can still work a physically challenging job at 67 years old. I love taking care of the cats in our Adoption room and helping them find their families.

You're welcome. And yes, that sounds like fun! I'll see what I can do. Alas, I find myself doing more living than posting these days.

I wish somebody would tell every reporter and newscaster how to say Kerrville. It's not Careville or Care County. It's like Kirk, as in Captain Kirk. Say it with me now... Kerrville.

Just so we're all clear: It's not a coincidence that the first senator they've used physical force against is Sen. Alex Padilla, a Latino man representing California.

So, we're basically living in a Tom Clancy novel.

A reminder that if the government can send migrants to a prison camp without any due process, it can send U.S. citizens there, too. I know because this happened to me and my family in 1942.

Ok, I watched the whole thing and lived to tell the tale. I still have hope because someone like Sen Slotkin got elected. Her speech was spot on.

High school pep rallies just came to mind. Or maybe junior high. #randomthought

My church upbringing allowed me to develop a high tolerance for listening to people who think they have all the answers.
