But at least it's RELAXING quirkiness.
We've got a day trip on the "Highway of Legends," a Zoom meeting with Lord & Richards...and a lunch with someone I never expected to meet again. (More on this later this week.) Plus a bunch of appraisal reports to finish up.
Here we go...
AI 'book slop:' a frustrating and frightening problem for authentic writers. I'm not terrified of this...but I am wary.
Interesting details that make houses HOMES. Including this art exhibit -- magnets displayed at the bottom of the fridge, for the cat's pleasure.
Everything you've wondered about the Bayeux Tapestry. We were within miles of this...and couldn't get there. Now it's going into seclusion for at least a year while it's being restored ('Nope,' says a spokesperson -- but it would be surprising if it wasn't) -- and stabilized.
One curious update: a small piece of the Tapestry was stolen -- by a German scientist the Nazis assigned to measure it. That was only discovered a few years ago, when it turned up in the scientist's estate. Hmmm.
And if you've got a little space to live in -- these ideas may help.
Incredibly clever crafts -- and more problem-solvers.
Yep, ballot-stuffing never happens. Not even in Detroit, Michigan.
The criminal cat -- why it was arrested and got a mugshot. Plus pawprints.
We know what the menu for the Trump/Putin meeting (that never happened) would have been, Trump's planned gift, aides involved in the planning...and plenty of other things that should never have been publicized. Our source? An 8-page memo left in the printer at an Anchorage hotel. (Some secretary or aide just lost their job.)
An interview with Harrison Ford, one of my favorite actors. He hardly gives one, so this is especially interesting.
"I was under contract to Columbia Pictures at the time for $150 a week and all the respect that that implies. I was called into the office of the head of the new talent program, and he told me that I had no future in the business, which was OK," Ford told Variety.
So much for that sage prediction...
An auction of Bob Ross paintings produces a surprising result -- they sold for double and triple their pre-auction estimated value!
Ten things that entered the public domain in 2025. Including Popeye the Sailor Man!
And to put you in the mood for this busy week --
Beyonce's Single Ladies video...
Followed by a very funny SNL version. (Thanks for not taking yourself too seriously, Justin Timberlake!)
Have a great week.
