I’ve been writing, nearly daily, for almost twenty years. Blog posts, newsletters, articles, social media — my words appear on the screen. After all this time, it’s effortless and a bit obsessive. When I’m jogging through the nature preserve in the morning, I’m writing in my head. My family knows to avoid my office when I’m in the writing zone, because of the “Death to Interrupters” policy.
However, I’ve been a lousy newsletter writer this summer. I wanted to increase newsletter production until the election, because elections are fun. Instead, there have been long, unexplained, unforgivable gaps in newsletter writing this summer. What’s going on?

KAOS grew on me.
We just finished The Perfect Couple. It was enjoyable.

My husband noped out of KAOS after the third episode, so I watched the rest of the season on Friday. I enjoyed it.
SLOW. HORSES. If you don’t watch, you need to watch. You need to pay Apple for it to reward it for bringing good things to us.
We’re also watching Bad Monkey (I went through a Carl Hiassen streak some years ago, but I can’t remember a single thing from the books other than that they’re funny, the developers/politicians/rich people are always the bad guys, and the main character is always the kind of eff-the-system guy who wants to stay under the radar and enjoy life but there is some problem that he just has to solve. Vince Vaughn is in Bad Monkey (boo) but so are Rob Delaney (YAY!) and Meredith Hagner (yay!).
And may I recommend English Teacher on FX? We’ve seen two episodes, and it’s single-camera comedy that manages to straddle the line between dealing with real issue stuff and being funny.
Only Murders is a delight and I am so happy that last night the song writers won an Emmy (and thus achieved EGOT) with “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It,’ a rare song in a non-musical show that is both a good song and is significant to the plot in some way (well, a subplot, but still).
