I was discussing the famous “You don’t have a square to spare?” Seinfeld episode, which led me to recall an episode of Moonlighting. The mere prat of a youth with whom I was speaking had never heard of the show or seen Bruce Willis with hair. Thus, I present this for his (and your) edification and enjoyment.

Abigail Adams on #TheNew10
We can call the new bills “Abbies”.
My nominee for the new $10 is Abigail Adams, wife of President John Adams, mother of President John Quincy Adams, and the woman who kept it all together back on the farm when John was off being a founding father.
She was an advocate of the property rights of women and strongly opposed to slavery.
Through her letters with John, she exerted a great deal of influence on the formation of our country.
It’s an OUTRAGE!
I’ve been examining my reaction to emails and social media posts and I think I have a diagnosis: “Outrage Fatigue”. I am flat out tired of everything being an outrage, a precursor to the apocalypse, and the end of life as we know it.
Folks, don’t sweat the small stuff. We will get by.
And if you think your thing is bad, remember this: Winter is coming.
We will get by. We will survive.
Deal: Drumming with the Dead
I just read Bill Kreutzmann’s book, “Deal“. It was like sitting with a really stoned dude for several hours while he tells you stories that are sort of in order but sometimes not and of course you’re stoned too so you don’t worry too much about it making a lot of sense, but you can see and feel that he has some pretty strong feelings. And he has a lot of love/hate going on, and he really, really misses Jerry.
It’s good you’re back into the music, and I completely understand, Billy, why you didn’t want to have anything to do with Furthur, even though it brought a lot of happiness to the ‘heads.
Listen to a bit of Billy and The Kids. He’s doing alright now.
