I look forward to your newsletter every week. This extra helping of shareables was delightful. The Dick Van Dyke / Coldplay video is one of the most joyful things I have seen in a long while.

Congrats on the magazine mentions!! And wow...what great stories. I love Dick Van Dyke (ok who doesn't). Sending wishes for the best with the health issues with the family; it is such a difficult experience/trying time.

Pretty sure the New Yorker put Dogland on its list of Best Books of the Year. If. Not then, then it was some other hoity-toity magazine/journal. But it was a high end list, so congrats!

I shed a tear or two over Coldplay and Dike Van Dyke! Which led to another video with Michael J Fox. Heartfelt!

Headlights: I still wonder if I opted for cataract lens replacement 25 years too early ... when I said I couldn't drive at night any more because of the bright headlights, they said, "It's time."

IVF: That story about the swapped children did make me cry. Imagine having an error like that only be possible because you lived in the same ZIP code (I don't know that that was the case, but the two families did live only a mile apart).

For those who loved the Dick van Dyke video, here's one from 2016 with Derek Hough: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/video/dick-van-dyke-mary-poppins-step-time-wonderful-world-disney-disneyland-60-1148796/ ... and from 2018's Mary Poppins Returns: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AAHM08OxSfU
