Had lunch today with the divine @mdermansky. Can’t wait for her new novel Very Nice.

Listening to Bill Maher on Stern Show. So interesting to hear his writing process. 15 hours for the editorial at the end of the show. Love the hard work; it shows.

Dropped off my mother after two weeks in a rental house in Maine. I have said “what? What? WHAT?” twenty + times a day. She whispers bec. hearing aids.
