Placatory:
I expect that today was supposed to be a big first 100 days office celebration. And it could be celebrated for the massive initiatives commenced. But the results are fuzzy meaning the PR pros will be on center stage. The next hundred days should be more important.
I think procrastination is a wonderful way to induce calm in the elder years.
The great American spectacle, the Kentucky Derby is this weekend... and I doubt that Trump will be supporting the favorite horse -- “Journalism”.

He lists several charges including placing personal power and self-interest above public service. He says Adam Schiff made him do it.

Butterflies just aren’t what they used to be.
What are you watching on Netflix is a common point of discussion at friendly gatherings these days.
“Friends and Neighbors” on Prime, or is it Apple, has possibilities as a decent series. But you have to buy Apple to see the end of what started for free on Prime. It's the old bait and switch all over again. It just sounds more legal.
