As I'm writing this, I'm watching CBS This Morning. The first topic up is the interview with the Pope that was published yesterday. Dolan is on with them to discuss it, and I must admit he's putting a pretty good face on it. Of course, I'm sitting back and laughing my ass off. They elected a Jesuit, did they really expect that it would be business as usual?

So the House Republicans are trying to kill the Affordable Care Act by defunding it. They lost on constitutionality with the Supremes, all of their votes to repeal went exactly nowhere, and now they're threatening to shut down the government in order to save poorer Americans from good health care. Patriots, one and all!

Today is the last Friday of summer 2013, and the weather report is 80 and sunny. Ugh, fall can't come soon enough for me. I want to wear sweaters and corduroy and drink pumpkin spice lattes and take shots of trees decked out in crimson and gold leaves.

My home project for the weekend is to move the TV out of the bedroom – the experiment is over. I found that I just don't like having it in here, and more seriously, it has wrecked havoc with my sleep patterns. Harrumph. I still don't want it in the office either, so downstairs into the living room it goes. Bye-bye!

The new semester has gifted me with a head cold and computer-mouse-related tendonitis in my right arm, so it will be a computer-free weekend. Lucky me!

Happy Friday, everyone.
