So here I am again.

I watched The Post. I give it C-. It’s written like a soap opera and is frequently unrealistic at times; for example: the scene where Kathryn Graham is in the linotype room at the end. My father and uncles worked in the newspaper business and I’ve been on a linotype floor and you can’t speak to others because it’s so noisy—but not in The Post. It’s a sit com and I’ve reached my saturation point with Meryl Streep, as wonderful as she is.

This morning: Sleet and wind. There was a dusting of wet snow on my windshield. But I donned my waterproof pants, boots and parka and walked Sheba for an hour; the precipitation turned quickly to rain. I had to wash Her Highness in the bathtub when we returned—but oh the dry heat of the fireplace felt good to us both!
I don’t mind weather like this when there’s a big fire, Apple pie in the fridge and lots to eat. I fetched some DVDs to watch from the studio and I’m set for a cozy day.

Almost every day I read more about mutism. Today I’m glad I developed this condition after the word “mute” replaced the word “dumb” in common speech. I’d hate to have to tell people that I’m dumb.
