My normally spunky Kindergartner was asked to draw a picture of how she felt about her first day of school. She drew "an old fish." "Mom! I don't how to spell 'anxious.' " This is going great.

Used to quickly get to the Maryland General Assembly site by googling “mdga.” But some other MDGA upped their SEO game, and now I’m an inadvertent, frequent visitor to the Miniature Dairy Goats Association’s homepage.

Yesterday @RepAndyHarrisMD helped lead a protest to reopen Md's economy, likening the restrictions to North Korea. Follow GOPer @GovLarryHogan today: "He's obviously got the right to say whatever crazy things he wants to say, but you know, I don't really need to respond to him."

As he frequently has when challenged about the purchase of tests from South Korea, @GovLarryHogan just called latest Post story "completely false" on @MSNBC . Problem is, it's based on records and emails and interviews with people in Maryland government dealing with the tests.

Wendi Winters’ daughter, Montana Geimer, somehow managed to beautifully perform “How Can I Keep From Singing” durning her mother’s funeral. She asked that the audience help her if she stumbled, so the whole room quietly sang along. I didn’t see anyone who didn’t cry.

I asked @BenJealous what he thought about Md Gov @LarryHogan calling him a socialist and whether he identified with that term. “Are you f—ing kidding me? Does that put too fine a point on it?”
