I’m so heartbroken and so sick to my stomach over this, I just have no words. I loved his work and it’s always been part of my life. I feel empty and cold right now. All my love to Mr & Mrs Reiner’s family and friends. #RIPRobReiner #RIPMichelleReiner

The Cure’s “The Show of a Lost World” was fantastic. Beautifully shot in 4K, the 31-song set started with songs from their latest album and spider-walked its way through its legendary catalogue. See it if you can! #TheCure #THECUREFILM @thecure.com

Finished “What Is It All But Luminous: Notes from an Underground Man” by Art Garfunkel and loved it.
I’ve only seen him solo one time, and that was when I took my mom to see him at the Sheldon Concert Hall. One of my favorite memories.

Some holidays are symbols of the human spirit overcoming systematic bullying & oppression. Thriving, not just surviving, Are you good with things like this being removed because it makes you feel justified, that your hatred is empowering? I feel sorry for you. History will be the judge.

This is a picture of me and my mom from many years ago. I’m actually wearing the same thing right now as I put up Christmas lights outside.
God, it’s really cold out here.
And why are the neighbors yelling obscenities at me?

Finally saw The Black Phone 2 (in a theater, of course) and really had fun. I’ve grown really fond of winter horror over the years.
Anyway, check it out!

I took a picture, so I wrote a haiku about it.
Like the skeletons
Of gentle wintry giants

With a wonderful central performance by a real dog named Indy, Good Boy makes every moment count in its 73-minute runtime. A moving and beautiful looking film with a star that you’ll wish you were friends with.

Before I made my way to Days of the Dead Chicago today, I had the opportunity to pay my respects to Clara Peller. Who is she? She’s the “Where’s the Beef?” lady.
Thanks to pals Mike and for affording me this extraordinary chance to touch greatness.

“In the early 60’s, there was a cafe in Paris called Café d’Auteur. There I was in my Paisley Print Georgette skirt, young & looking for love. That’s when I first met Antonio, or as his owner called him, Shithead. We began to build a life together…If only he could have stopped humping lampposts.”

We were doing yard work today and along with raking leaves, we also had to rake up a copious amount of acorns. What follows is a true conversation between me and my son in haiku form:
I point at the pile
“Take care of deez nuts,” I said
He just stood and stared
