Charles Barkley looks like a giant Easter egg.

I don’t know that I have ever seen a lavender suit before. It’s a very soothing color, but rather odd. Kind of reminds me of some of the tux jacket colors you see at prom time.

I would much rather watch March Madness than any of the analysis of the Mueller report. I think I will be sticking to the Food Channel for the next few days.

as for escapes for a week or so, I plan on a healthy dose of Stephanie Miller and Thom Hartmann on freespeech tv (www.freespeech.org) or watch live here. https://freespeech.org/watch-live/

Miller starts at 9AM eastern followed by Hartmann at noon.

And yeah, not watching either. Can't even read the posts here, the titles are enough.

I'm gonna binge Netflix' crime series about the designer Versace (forget the exact name, but it won a few awards).

Enjoy march madness and the food channel.

When I Am Old.

When I am an old woman I shall wear purple
With a red hat that doesn't go, and doesn't suit me,
And I shall spend my pension
on brandy and summer gloves
And satin sandals,
and say we've no money for butter.
I shall sit down on the pavement when I am tired,
And gobble up samples in shops and press alarm bells,
And run my stick along the public railings,
And make up for the sobriety of my youth.
I shall go out in my slippers in the rain
And pick the flowers in other people's gardens,
And learn to spit.
You can wear terrible shirts and grow more fat,
And eat three pounds of sausages at a go,
Or only bread and pickle for a week,
And hoard pens and pencils and beer mats
and things in boxes.
But now we must have clothes that keep us dry,
And pay our rent and not swear in the street,
And set a good example for the children.
We will have friends to dinner and read the papers.
But maybe I ought to practise a little now?
So people who know me
are not too shocked and surprised,
When suddenly I am old
and start to wear purple!

Jenny Joseph
