No, we can’t cut this to stay off the sidewalk .. but nonetheless, you should watch yourself there.

Seems that no matter what intervention takes place while away, we lose most plants on summer vacation. They’re like, “Well, if those giants are not even going to stay here in this heat, what are we sticking around for? Basil, out.” [SHRIVEL, WILT, DIE]

One tile. Sixty-two points. Stolen from me because of some nonsense about “no acronyms.”

Scrabble board where “Q” is on the verge of placement in a Triple Letter Score square that would complete “IQ” and “EQ” WHICH ARE TOTALLY WORDS HUMAN PEOPLE USE.

Lynne Ahrens was a 22 year old guitar-playing secretary/copywriter at the advertising firm of McCaffrey & McCall when she was asked by producer George Newell if she’d like to contribute songs to the new Schoolhouse Rock project.

She wrote and sang “No More Kings.”

Think of her this weekend.

It was indeed thrilling to hear this badly needed level of “no, please be specific” and not letting go.
