Nationals fan by birthright. Capitals fan by marriage.

If you’ve never seen Dorothea Lange’s photographs of the World War II internment camps and the Japanese-Americans who were imprisoned there, today is a good day to see them and to commit to making sure this never happens again.

Thank you. I’m honestly not sure what the right move here is. So many people who want Biden to step aside are belligerent if you don’t agree with them. I’m a political junky, but I don’t know what the best path is, and my only role in this is voting in Nov for whoever has a D by their name.

Is it unusually windy? (Not a Chicago joke!) That’s the reason they sometimes change to a completely different landing pattern at Washington Dulles.

It's so awful. Why must companies wreck their own product?

I’m so sorry. Being a Wizards fan is brutal.

Interesting. But one of the problems is the judge.

I shall rephrase. Do other states have as many ridiculous problems with their RICO prosecutions as Georgia does?

IANAL, but this state RICO law seems like a giant clusterf*ck. Do any other states have their own RICO laws?

In 1999, I quit my job and moved to a new city without a new job. I had to pay COBRA for months until I got a job that included health insurance. We paid fees to apply for apartments then too. I think it was $35 dollars, which should be fairly equivalent to $75 now. And I’d do it all again!

My husband also loves photographing mushrooms and somewhere along the way I learned is ask if we’re going on an exercise walk or a mushroom walk. There are still stops to look at mushrooms on exercise walks, but there are fewer of them. I just like to know what I’m getting into.

a wild thing about the “biden’s gonna get magic drugs that transforms him from doddering senility case to rhetorical superman” is that everyone buying in on this idea has older loved ones suffering from old age mental degradation and knows heartbreakingly well this miracle drug does not exist

This is why my husband and I aren’t watching. We figure we’ll spend the whole time being annoyed and/or confused.

Good luck! Are you doing a home party or an away party? Both have merits and challenges. Just curious!

Yeah, these numbers are completely baffling to me.

I’ll never understand why writers who are trying to retain anonymity allow photographs in a major publication.

An excellent policy. Avoid at all costs the Kingdom of Fantasy Geronimo Stilton books. They almost killed my husband, who is excellent at voices. The regular Geronimo Stilton books are wonderful and are recommended.

I’m grateful I grew up in a library family. I do buy books now, but I still do most of my reading via the library. My dad loved the library and he was tickled when his library added “You saved $X.XX today” to their receipts.

That's completely understandable. I almost included at a caveat that this might not be what you're looking for!

I enjoyed her memoir, "Personal History," but admit it's been a long time since I read it.

I just had a lovely lime popsicle as an afternoon snack.
