I didn't watch any coverage yesterday of the Kavanaugh vote, not one second...

If the TV is on later, it will be for college football not anything remotely related to Kavanaugh..

I’ve been catching up on some podcasts - and only the ones in the “entertainment” category. I can’t handle the politics right now.

Me, I am just sad about everything, Trump, Congress, the confirmation of Kavanaugh, hearing that maybe we don't have enough will to fight to go to the polls, or it's the repugs that now are excited. On and on I too will have to turn off the TV, I just can't take any of this anymore. I'm afraid while the pundits seem unconcerned as they have a good story to latch onto. Seems the story is more important than the future of our country.

The UCLA vs Washington game is of particular interest to this Pac 12 enthusiast

11. Mine's off. I took a chance coming here, though. We're going to a family get-together ...

...where politics will only be an eye-rolling subtext (we agree, so why spoil the day?). Later tonight hubby and I will watch what we've recorded: Midsomer Murders and the cold open of SNL.

At the moment, this is too much.

17. It will be on PBS Create TV, like it is most of the time.

And, hockey later on tonight. Might watch some "Law and Order SVU" reruns in between. It's far less depressing than watching the news.

A good day to watch a few more episodes of the Good Cop with Josh Groban! Just finished watching the last hour of Apollo13 to remind me of when a person could be proud of this country.
