Flashback to Summer 1985 This was summer before my freshman year at UC Davis. It should be September because I was supposed to be moving into the dorms. But Tita Myrna lost an expensive bracelet in our house and I found it under the sofa mattress in the den. Tita Myrna asked me to fly down, with both Liza and Frances having offered to pay for my flight. How can I refuse that?! LOL Tita Myrna was my mom's coworker in Illinois Masonic Hospital, and our neighbor in the 20-story Barr Tower. She lived on the 2nd floor, while we lived initially on the 8th floor and moved to a 2-bedroom apartment on the 12th floor. Frances had been my classmate in 6th grade in St. Sebastian in Chicago. But Liza and I both remember that Tita Myrna had taken us to something with our siblings, maybe a movie when we were younger. I have always admired Sophia Loren, so we took a photo with her.

George Clooney, a supporter and donor of President Joe Biden’s re-election campaign, said in a New York Times op-ed that Biden should pull out of the 2024 race. WOW. I did not see this happening. But I'm not surprised at George Clooney's op-ed in that he is a big donor and fundraiser. NBC News’ Peter Alexander reports on how the campaign is responding to several calls from Democrats for Biden to end his run. In Opinion George Clooney writes: “This is about age. Nothing more. But also nothing that can be reversed. We are not going to win in November with this president.” https://t.co/BOkwvhjNsI — The New York Times (@nytimes) July 10, 2024 My friend George Clooney has clearly expressed what many of us have been saying. We love and respect Joe Biden. We acknowledge all he has done for our country. But Democracy is facing an existential threat. We need someone younger to fight back. Joe Biden must step aside.… — Rob Reiner (@robreiner) July 10, 2024 "I am concerne...

"The big difference between the Golden Globes and the NFL? At the Golden Globes, we have fewer camera shots of Taylor Swift."
