I’m all done wrapping. This has to be a record for me. I’m never done this early. #Christmas #Wrapping

Wrapping gifts. The day before Xmas Eve, the kids and grandkids all come to our house to exchange gifts. We get together again on Christmas night for dinner, but that’s too chaotic for gifts. Everyone got a book (or two) this year, plus a mini coloring book and crayons (regardless of age), all purchased from an indie bookstore owned by writers. I’m serving fried chicken, mashed potatoes, gravy, green beans, and biscuits. Basically, a gourmet KFC 2-piece. #Christmas #Books #Reading

Did anyone think they were actually going to release any evidence that made Trump or any of his allies look bad? Give me a break. The good news is, this story will continue to be a story, and will likely take on a life of its own, because now there’s no reason to NOT believe there are mounds of relevant evidence that will never be released. I think it’s all pretty obvious and not worth spending any time on, but let that be the focus, I suppose. The rich have their own rules. #EpsteinFiles
