Ridiculous. Shocking!
And just like that, Donald Trump gets away with his insurrection. Something that would have never happened in any other democratic country on earth. Astonishing.

Name: Pawpaw (like in Papa).
My husband and I went to a dog adoption event yesterday to hang out with our older son and his girlfriend, who were volunteering there. We were NOT going to adopt another dog. Absolutely, positively NOT.

Meet our new 3-month-old puppy (a rescue from PR). She adopted us, lol. Any ideas for a name? 🐶

Ah. Perfect timing— I came here to procrastinate and see this just as I begin scrolling. Loved your course on BBC Maestro, and listen to a segment again each morning before I sink into writing. Fully intend to take you up on your request for an invite to my next launch, lol!
