Defenseless under the night Our world in stupor lies; Yet dotted everywhere, Ironic points of light Flash out whereever the Just Exchange their messages; May I... Beleaguered by the same Negation and despair, Show an affirming flame. - W.H. Auden #poetry #ukraine

One of the best people I’ve ever known, Kevin Foley, would have turned 50 today. In 2009, I had the honor of interviewing him for @MedillSchool about his groundbreaking blog that explored the experience of what it’s like to be dying. Miss you, my friend. @jhfoleyca @leeanncox – at Chicago, IL

Interesting juxtaposition: Me: I CAN’T WAIT FOR THIS SCHOOL YEAR TO BE OVER! Daughter: Mom, you know it’s the first day, right?

Saving Your Family, One (Complicated) Recipe at a Time | The Manifest Station

This was to be a cake, so I picked a family favorite, vanilla with the layers split and alternately spread with lemon curd and cream cheese frosting.

Daughter, watching college admission session on Zoom: “That person looks like she’s 90–and by that I mean she’s like 30.” I think that makes me about 142.

I’ve been charged by my daughter to pick paint for her room that looks like “the way pavement smells after a rainstorm.”

What kind of person starts playing Air Supply while you’re cooking and then walks away?

The loneliness in the lines of recipes: my grandmother’s dressing, my husband’s smoked turkey, my mom’s pumpkin pie (“Let Lee Ann taste. Add whatever she says”).

Found a cool charity offering Covid relief for artists. Philomath, a big, brilliant book of trivia questions, is free to download (should keep game night going past the pandemic🤞). Pls help @TriviaRelief fund the arts. triviarelief.org/
Trump is horribly offensive. But I have to say that Pence’s cloying smarminess is impressively nauseating in its own way.

Among the ancillary tragedies of this pandemic, people are losing their lives alone, even to ordinary things. My mother, 92, appears to be dying today in assisted living lockdown; a nurse had me say goodbye via FaceTime.
