I love you.

I met Virginia Kelley in New York during the 1992 DNC. She was a hoot.

Have you tried a thunder shirt? I’ve heard great things about how they help animals with anxiety.

I’m at home but I can hear the fireworks on the East River very clearly right now, even with the windows closed and the AC on they are still loud (louder then when they were blasting for the Second Avenue subway, which used to make my whole apartment shake). I can see why it would freak animals out. I hope your pup…

I don’t really like fireworks, I stayed home. TCM has thwarted my yearly viewing of “1776" by airing it at 1am, so I listened to the “Hamilton” soundtrack for the millionth time while cleaning my apartment, watched Wimbledon and the “John Adams” miniseries, and made tacos. Oh, and my reposted instagram pic of a…

I know that song is about G.W.B., but I really hope Lily was singing it under her breath every time she got near one of these fuckers.

Since the gardens of Hampton Court are my happy place (I want nothing more than to live in the riverside banqueting house) I am in complete agreement with you, a wonderful letter.

Like all New Yorkers I have Bill stories. He always covered events at my work. One of the best parts of working an event was greeting Bill (and the worst was watching thirsty women throw themselves in his path to get photographed*, something he clearly hated but was too much of a gentleman to comment on). One never…

We must talk about Lin-Manuel’s shirt. I need it! (I have a similar one for the GOT direwolves)

Thanks for the Field of Dreams joke Patrick. I giggled.

Hey, I didn’t name it, I just roll my eyes at the Instagrams taken in front of it.

LACMA still has “Levitated Mass,” so their Insta cred won’t be affected too much.

Oh hi St. Andrews! I miss you so.

Congrats on the citizenship, getting to hang in the amazing Stockholm City Hall, and, of course, the fika. Fika is the best.

Billy Joel plays a show at Madison Square Garden at least once a month. He has a liscense to print money.

Ha! I grew up with horses and there is no way in hell my mom would have backed the trailer up into the school parking lot for show n’ tell (although she may have picked me up once with the trailer in tow. . .).

I saw him in “1776" last week. He was ridiculously charming as John Adams.

Uzo speaks the truth. Sigh. I just like the way he leans.

Kara, please do do the “Hamliton” ranking! Maybe compare them to their real life counterparts. Hamilton would be towards the top of the real life list, but I suspect Lin will be near the bottom of the actor list. (Love you Lin, but Leslie Odom Jr. for life).

Especially considering that this appears to have happened at Charlotte today. Charlotte is the American Airlines hub and they cancelled a ton of flights today due to the weather. I’m sure the poor gate agents had an extremely shitty day. She’s lucky to have gotten out at all.
