That squirrel at the Red Sox/Yankees game captured my heart. Hope she’s ok.

This is pretty good
All of it, in the end, becomes a question of what you will settle for, and how much you are willing to bear in exchange for a chance at making things less unbearable.

Rare windchill factor for San Diego today! Our Halloween decorations are a shambles. Exciting times

Obsessed with this children’s book about the Great Molasses Flood of 1919 #Boston
A photo of the book, “I Survived the Great Molasses Flood,” a graphic novel for kids that I found at my local library. The cover depicts a girl on a horse pulling the hand of a boy in a newsboy cap, as a wave of molasses crashes toward them

lol wtf?
A screen shot of a post from Justin Baragona. The post included a video clip of Kristi Noem’s press conference, and quotes part of her speech. I have highlighted the portion of Noem’s quote that says, “We are staying here to liberate [Los Angeles] from the … burdensome leadership that this governor and this mayor have placed on this country…”

I think of this every time I’m forced to learn about NY politics
A headline from the The Onion that reads, “De Blasio: ‘Well, well, well, Not So Easy to Find a Mayor That Doesn’t Suck Shit, Huh?’”

Sometimes I don’t think people give The NY Times enough credit for its dry sense of humor
An excerpt from a New York Times story with the first sentence highlighted. As is often is the case with Mr. Trump’s declarations on social media, it was not entirely clear what he was talking about. Did he mean any movie, including independent foreign-language films destined for art house cinemas and movies that play exclusively on streaming services?

A frittata, in this economy?
A frittata cooking on a stove. A circular pan with eggs, sausage and chopped bell peppers. No greens because I didn’t have any.

This is a made-up name
A screen shot of an article from The NY Times about Justin Trudeau saying he thinks Trump is serious about taking over Canada. The screen shot highlights the name of Canada’s industry minister, François-Philippe Champagne

Nobody loves Black Jack gum but me ☺️
A pack of Black Jack licorice-flavored chewing gum. The pack is light blue and rectangular. They sell it in novelty stores and everyone wonders who buys it. I do.

I watch this a lot now because it’s my son’s favorite Christmas movie, but honestly? The pacing is a thing of a wonder and this might be in my top 10 favorite scenes of cinema #HomeAlone

I guess they’re not just for QBs.

I could sneak so many snacks and friends into a movie with one of those.
