The End of Lolliblog - The guiding principle of Lolliblog was a simple one: I resolved to pay attention. I would make it a daily habit to examine the shake-ups, missteps, what made me laugh, what made me cry. Paying attention has saved me from... https://t.co/1cjKqL94ld

To the Young Who Want to Die - Sit down. Inhale. Exhale. The gun will wait. The lake will wait. The tall gall in the small seductive vial will wait will wait: will wait a week: will wait through April. You do not have to die this certain day.... https://t.co/2Tv8a1Xqb2

📷 I just got this from Redfin.  It’s the only photo of a two bedroom condo in Ventura, California for $350,000. They called it a “Home for You” (meaning me). Maybe they think I run a floor-cleaning service?  Anyway, Redfin, this would never... https://t.co/F73826eYcJ

Cancellation Elation - I’m going to put it out there: some of my favorite things in the world are cancelled plans. Not plans cancelled by me, but those cancelled on me. Don’t get me wrong. I’m no misanthrope. I like people, and adore my... https://t.co/hXhTGHG22S

📷 Douglas Ayer, aviator glasses, khaki jacket. We first met 40 years ago. Lanky, smart, soft-spoken, endlessly kind. Giver of the best hugs. Teacher. Mentor. Devoted husband. Friend. Expert on all things historical and political, required... https://t.co/s5nKlsLabH

Sunday Scaries - I’d never heard the expression Sunday Scaries before Olivia, my son Micah’s girlfriend, mentioned it last week. It was news, though on a gut level I have known the Scaries for as long as I can remember. Even when I was raising... https://t.co/sZXhcGS3TI

Spring Hopes - Yesterday, the grocery store was bedlam. Cars backed out of spaces with nary a glance in the rearview mirror, narrowly missing people on their way to grab grocery carts and careen down aisles the wrong way. Store employees eyes,... https://t.co/r1aUL0q2Fv

Re-entry Resister - For lunch, I heat up pizza. Orphans, one veggie, one Margarita shrouded in plastic, rescued from the dark backwoods of the freezer, a surprise I can comfortably handle. See, I worry about what comes after the low stakes... https://t.co/PbtyqenPYn

My West Coast Dad - When Sam and I moved from the East Coast to the West, I missed my parents like crazy. Then, I got a job as an assistant in the Western Regional Office of the Association of Yale Alumni. Barbara, my boss, literally, on day... https://t.co/LNJ6M8qXJv

Keeping the Ducks Happy - Nibbled to death by ducks. This is a phrase I first read in an essay by Joan Didion. Apparently her husband John told her that working for Life Magazine as a correspondent would be like getting nibbled to death by... https://t.co/23v4xseJyd

The Nature of Lovingkindness - I was talking on the phone to my daughter Sarah in North Carolina. She told me she was coming up upon an elderly man was sitting in a wheelchair. I heard her say, “I like your hat. Did you go to Yale? I’m from... https://t.co/qY97Sap8Nn

The First Rule of Write Club - Writing students are sensitive souls. It goes with the territory, really, and it’s the main reason group workshopping an emerging writer’s work can feel daunting. Running a writing workshop, which I do every... https://t.co/JNC89tJSaD

The Last Taboo - “Nomadland” is a dignified, devastating film. At its center is Fern, a woman who takes to the road after the death of her husband and economic collapse of her hometown in Nevada. Frances McDormand plays Fern, a woman in her... https://t.co/m5wTaQyjHL

White-line Fever Epiphany - Yesterday, driving through Newark, I felt a sudden sense of oneness with the universe. I know, and believe me, I’m as surprised as you are, but I can explain. Approximately seven hours into a ten-hour drive, a... https://t.co/eTf94q4nCh

📷 This is Rush Limbaugh, or rather, was. Happily, Rush Limbaugh died yesterday.  I will not miss hearing his bloated, belligerent voice amplifying his despicably racist, homophobic, xenophobic, misogynistic views on talk radio. I will not... https://t.co/rdMoixeupu

Fantasy Townhouse Shattered - Two years ago, Sam and I bought a townhouse in North Carolina. We knew we couldn’t live there right away, but planned on renting it out until we were in a position to stay longer-term. The owner was (I learned... https://t.co/ER2WtmrVAq

Yesterday we drove from Connecticut to North Carolina. We have family here, and it’s a trip we’ve made often. Every drive seems to offer up unique challenges, like horrendous traffic going through New York City or a car fire inside the... https://t.co/WKzrxjIsn5
