This is the #Spreckels mansion which I recently walked by in San Francisco. Adolph Spreckels' wife Alma coined the phrase "Sugar daddy."

On a recent trip to San Francisco, I walked by the #Spreckels Mansion. It's owned by #DanielleSteel. Maybe I should have become a #romance novelist.

In 1933, #Göring took over the #Prussian police force. He did not stop there.

I recently drove through the Central Valley. Nothing but Anglo guys in suits working in the fields and vineyards. Amazing.

Yes. Why is this allowed to continue? This criminal administration is alienating our allies, destroying our international standing, and isolating us in this world. Where are our lawmakers? They have the authority and the ability to stop it NOW. Why are they impotent? #USDemocracy #Voices4Victory

An inauguration is NOT a coronation. The president takes the oath of office, there's a dance at the White House featuring a local bar band doing Hall and Oates and Motown covers, maybe a couple hip hop tunes from "Hamilton". Everyone gets drunk, throws up and goes home..

This will sound pretentious, but Truffaut is one of only two people I have introduced myself to. It was in the lobby of the Beverly Hills hotel, he was sitting alone, looking sad and I told him I loved his work, and he had been a huge influence on me. He smiled and nodded politely.
