5. I talk to my mom during Lawrence.

She died last October at 95, and she'd be so happy now about the Dems and Kamala/Walz. She was a huge FDR Democrat -- her president from when she was 4 until she was 17. I'm so sad she didn't live long enough to vote for Kamala. We talked on the phone 2x a week for most of the last 10 years during TTT's rise (we called him The Tangerine Toddler) and always talked about MSM coverage and especially MSNBC. We would cackle over Lawrence O'Donnell's latest shows. She would have been disgusted with the media treatment of Joe and would have fist-pumped at the TV watching Lawrence's coverage during his "2016 all over again" diatribe, as I did.

My dad died in 1999, but I still talk to him sometimes when I'm driving, especially when I'm stuck behind drivers going the speed limit in the left lane.
