Madeline Albright has died. Admired her greatly.

Oh, no.  I'd always enjoyed watching her interviews.

Albright had a great sense of humor, as this bit proves:

Throughout her career, Albright was known for wearing brooches or decorative pins to convey her foreign policy messages. When she found out that the Russians had bugged the State Department, she wore a large bug pin when she next met with them. When Saddam Hussein referred to Albright as a snake, she took to wearing a gold snake pin; when she was called a witch, she proudly brandished a miniature broom. When she slammed as "completely un-American" acting Director of US Citizenship and Immigration Services Ken Cuccinelli's suggestion that only immigrants who can "stand on their own two feet" are welcome in the United States, Albright wore a Statue of Liberty pin.

Nice! ;D

Another reason to want Ketanji Brown Jackson on the Supreme Court. I qwonder if we could get her to record Show Boat , Cabin in the Sky, or Valmouth? ;)



That's pretty cool!

I hope that Justice Clarence Thomas dies in the hospital and that Biden gets to appoint ANOTHER Justice immediately.

Perhaps that is uncharitable, but that's where I am at this point.

My question for ASK BK DAY:

Do you still subscribe to any print magazines?  If so what are they?

Great quote, Laura. Were you looking at dinosaurs? Neighbors? Clouds?

So, I just had a check-up and the PA said that it doesn't really matter how long it is between the two Shingrix shots, they just don't want them too close together, so I finally got my second shot today!

What a relief that that waiting for the second one was ok.  Vibes you don't get sick.

Did the Zoom podcast thing for the book to which I contributed - an hour of yakking. Food should be here shortly - tacos from La Fogata.

A heartwarming article about a British couple who are taking in a young Ukrainian woman.
