For any FPS readers in the polar vortex, what’s that feel like?

At 2:30 this morning, my dog Rose had an upset stomach and she let me know by vomiting numerous times, including once on the bed. Barely awake, I had to strip the sheets, replace them and wipe up regurgitated puddles of food. And I did it gladly. That’s love.

Thanks to you and all the anchors in my life – ballet class, synagogue, making food in the kitchen (to name a few). And yours?

This morning, the Academy Awards nominations were announced. And I was relieved to see that many of my top movies made it into the list. I’m a diehard movie “goer,” believing the best way to see a film is in the theater on the big screen. But this year, I “watched” many of the nominated movies at home on tv. What’s your favorite film of 2018?
