Collection of short stories where 13 meets celebrities and historical figures. I love an Amelia Earhart story but it missed the point with being a previous iteration of the Doctor.

My daughter and I binged Sister Wives last year when she and my granddaughter were living with us. It was a great nightly ritual for us to unwind together after busy days. Since Christine's book just came out, I figured I'd start at the beginning before reading it.

My very favorite episode of Lucy, L.A. At Last!

He focuses on the least interesting parts of his life and the dullest jokes. It would have helped if an experienced author had written it for him and sifted through the mundane.

Fred Rogers was, by all accounts, a hugely decent human being who used his primary platform (Mister Rogers' Neighborhood) to address pressing issues in a subtle way. Long is careful not to glorify the man, and reveals tensions between Betty Aberlin and Rogers when the latter refused to move beyond subversive messaging about the Gulf War. His friendship and professional relationship with opera singer Francois Clemmons receives some nuance.
