  Arkansas Public Television is saved, thanks to a huge grassroots fundraising effort and a whole lot of public screaming. It isn't getting turned into some MAGAtainment cultural vacuum, thank god.

  Back home from vacation a day early. Dad had a stroke. He's fine, partially paralyzed but stable and back at the nursing home. Brother came down to be with us. I'm kind of hoping for a quick and easy exit now, but we're taking it a day at a time.

  Reading Calvino today and just came to this sentence: "The house, in its wisdom, seems to have taken advantage of your moments of euphoria to prepare itself to shelter you in your moments of depression." Reader, I just got owned from Italy circa 1979.

  I saw a reference to Deep Purple three hours ago and have had In-A-Gadda-Da-Vida stuck in my head ever since. And, yes, I know that was Iron Butterfly and not Deep Purple. My brain doesn't seem to care. Dow! Dow! Dowdowdowdow! Dow! Dow! Dow!

  Today is Mugsy's ninth birthday. He is old and cranky and likes to scream at everything that walks past our house. And I love him. He is eating his birthday cookie, which I had to bust up with a rolling pin for him, as I write this. Happy birthday, Booger Shoes. You're a good boy. #mastodogs #dogsofmastodon Edit: forgot alt text, sorry
