SARAH VAUGHAN. This album I am listening to from the early 1960s is EVERYTHING. I do not know if her voice could even be more perfect. Angels are up in them vocals of hers.

ADOLESCENCE. So I finally watched 4-part Netflix limited series many have said to see all year. BLOWN AWAY by its excellence and honesty. Yes, deep dive about manhood. But also about family, mental health, parenting, social media, more. Every family should watch this, AND TALK.

With my mother at dentist in Jersey City, where I was born and raised. My mother never lets go of her purse, except to tell me to hold it. Working hard to get her to do regular dental care. Baby steps. But getting there.

A’ja Wilson and Las Vegas Aces did that. What a run to the WNBA championship. And what a season and post-season. Now pay these amazing women basketball players what they deserve.

DIANE KEATON. Wow. Just hearing about her passing. There are folks you grow up with, come of age with. I have seen so many of her films, always been a fan. May she rest, peacefully.

ONE BATTLE AFTER ANOTHER, I agree, is up there with SINNERS as one of the best films LIKE EVER. Incredible writing/directing, beyond timeless movie about America, stellar ensemble acting. But Sean Penn’s master class in character development, down to the little body quirks? YO….
