Take notes
Today… Among the many things I was sad about as I read the news this morning – this article, How Does It Feel To Be Nominated To The Supreme Court? It's Complicated, is not about Harriet Miers.
Because 2005, someone created a Blogspot that was my favorite thing in the world for a moment.
Because 2020, it’s broken and barely survives. I may be the last person in the world who still sometimes thinks that my salad tastes super good today because I’m gonna be on the Supreme Court.
Oh, Harriet, sweet Harriet. (So knowing. So trusting. So lov…ed ?)
