After 20 Years, He Was Back on Her Radar

The couple first met at a cotillion dance when she was 10 and he was 12; they began dating many years later.

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

How to Make Congress Bipartisan

Eliminating gerrymandering is not enough to reduce polarization in Congress. A whole new voting system is needed.

If the most egregious gerrymandering is eliminated the result will be better.

At 56, a ‘Light Bulb’ Goes Off and a Firefighter Emerges

Robin Nesdale, who completed a demanding course of training, is the oldest woman to become a volunteer in an instructor’s long career.

Why not?

Finding Love in a Lower Manhattan Courthouse

Sooner is better.   As soon as you can is best.

Lena Dunham Says Her Dog Was Abused. The Shelter He Came From Disagrees.

The writer, producer and actress said she had to give up Lamby because of behavioral issues, but an employee at the shelter where she got him disputes that claim.

A dog is a pack hunting animal.
If Lena Dunham was not the leader of the pack she was going to have trouble.  Dog's dominance order tends to be rigid.
So I have been told.


Books

Spencer Johnson, ‘Who Moved My Cheese?’ Author, Dies at 78

Mr. Johnson wrote pithy best-sellers, including one about the benefits of embracing change and another defining effective management.

Close observation is part of understanding people.

Laugh and the World Laughs With You. Type ‘Ha,’ Not So Much.

Texting and email have inexorably changed the way we communicate laughter, from a simple LOL and its variations to a mischievous mwahahaha.

Canned laughter is never appropriate.

Carl Reiner: Justice Kennedy, Don’t Retire

Take it from me. Your 90s are the best years to work.

I am willing to add my voice to Carl Reiner's.  
Every liberal voice is needed.

G.O.P. Support of Senate Health Repeal Erodes During Break

The Senate’s bill to repeal and replace the Affordable Care Act is now imperiled, facing new opposition from Republicans who fear its impact on rural communities.

The Republicans do not have a bill they can vote for.
 That does not mean they won't vote for the bill they have.

North Carolina Shrugs as Its Senator Scrutinizes Russia

Senator Richard M. Burr is leading the Senate’s inquiry into Russian meddling, but many in his state have more pressing local issues on their minds.

North Carolina does not think new thoughts.
They would rather die.
Russia as the enemy is not a new thought.
