WHAT'S GOING ON?

Thanks to the fabulous Marvin Gaye for the title.  My head is spinning.  And I am not sure what is going on.  The questions are out but who leaked them?  If the leaker (or leakers) ever get identified, I am hoping it is not Mueller or members of his team.  That would ruin and de-legitimize the investigation just when it seems to really be focusing on POTUS.

No collusion/no obstruction.  The only people who believe that are members of his base who really do believe it is just a sinister DOJ effort to undermine POTUS.  He can do no wrong and the media are out to get him.

As pieces of my body literally fall off or get broken, I wonder why, when I was young, no one warned us this would happen.  Gotta move on.

--Domino's now offers pizza insurance.  Why, a naive person might ask?  Because what if you have bought a pie from them and you drop it?  A disaster.  Who cares about shit like that a more immature person might ask.
--Fashion advice:  When you wear clogs, please do not wear a cowboy hat along with them.  And if you do, do not hold up the line at the bank whilst you chat up the tellers.  EEK.
--If you want to be scared shitless category:  The latest NY Times magazine has an article about Devin Nunes, the California congressman who chaired the House Intelligence Committee.  He and his cronies cleared POTUS.  He is a conspiracy theorist who has much more nonsense up his sleeves.
--If you want to be scared shitless category (Part Deux):  McMaster being replaced by Bolton will lead us to some very bad places.  The first might be the Iran nuke deal which, by the way, has been successful. With Bolton's new role and with Netanyahu essentially scaring everyone with info years old, POTUS has the support to crater that deal.
--There is a daschund museum in Germany.  Seriously.
--Every time I see Macron, I wonder what it was like to have a relationship with one of your teachers.  Problem is I cannot remember any of them well enough.
--I do hope Macron and Merkel have some leverage with POTUS but I am skeptical.
--Even if you only drink tea or even if you do not know where Yemen is, you just have to read the Dave Eggers latest book about a man who sets up a business to export Yemeni coffee to the states.
--Travel note:  Spent 5 days in London with no rain.  Temps in the 70's and 80's.  Actually, without knowing it, saw the Queen herself.  Excellent travel companions and good food.
--Barbara Bush struck me as a kind and elegant woman.  POTUS blew off going to the funeral.
--He is a fucking bully.

SPORTS TALK
Good time to be in Beantown.  Bruins and Celtics both in the playoffs with strong young teams.  Very sick of the Brady drama and the Gronk soap opera.

Shalom
