An emotionally compelling duet from "Weird Al" Yankovic and Kate Winslet on a subject near and dear to my heart. "I Need a Nap" is everything you'd expect from a Sandra Boynton song. https://youtu.be/g3Bd4AydIzg

My junior high school years were a major inflection point for music. Sweet Baby James. Carole King's Tapestry, which touched our hearts so deeply. All of us remember how we felt when we first heard them. But then came Joni Mitchell's Blue. I remember being stunned by the twists and turns of the melody, the darkness of the piano, unlike anything I'd heard before. More than 50 years later, it still hits me every time I hear it. #JoniMitchell#music#1970s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nu7aOan-lds
@meredithw My daughter was 15 when I told her that "chaos" did not rhyme with "house." She stared at me for a long time and then announced, "My life is built upon a throne of lies."
@Teri_Kanefield Would you be willing to add page or sidebar listing your blog posts to your site, if it's not too difficult (and realizing nothing will be done until after your deadline)? The way it's now set up makes it hard to see what you've written about in the past. I also really miss the page you had listing the starting points posts we should read before proceeding - they're really helpful resources.

When I worked at a voting precinct we did have an older couple walk in who just moved to California from New York. Although we didn't have quite as simple a procedure, we did work to get them properly registered and cast provisional ballots.
Our precinct, our county, our state's policy are to facilitate voting to any and all people who are eligible to vote. It can sometimes take time to resolve the details after the election, which is why it may take a few weeks for the provisional ballots to be evaluated and, if proper, counted.
@universalhub Something you may want to keep an eye on. Just got an email re: LMA saying "Please be advised of potential impacts today to the MASCO Shuttle services and traffic due to a water main break in the Fenway area and Red Sox double header."
@meredithw@universalhub Yes it’s loads of fun here with roads shut down. Traffic on the open roads was at a standstill. Picture is Boylston @ Kilmarnock a couple hours ago.
