Funny story: Years ago a friend messaged me "According to TMZ you are having a blast in New Orleans." I was like "What?!" Turns out they had a story about my gurl @AprilDRyan having a dust up w/ someone (cont.)
there I was in the video of @JarrettHill singing April's praises at the #NABJ convention all hugged up with April because I always have my sister's back (cont.)
This time around I got a mention in Politico Playbook for attending her exclusive birthday gathering. April you STAY making me famous. Also it's probably the last time I'll be able to say I spoke after Susan Rice! 😂😂 H/t @laurabernardini for spotting.

Long post alert: Inspired by @SkyyhookRadio sharing her cancer diagnosis & journey allow me to share what's been going on with me. Back in July I came down w/ some symptoms I thought might be #covid19 but weren't, thank God. Around the same time
I took on some more responsibilities at work & started feeling weird adrenaline rushes in my body. It got so bad I thought I was having a heart attack one night. The paramedics who showed up checked me out fully & gently suggested I may be having a panic attack.
I had NEVER had issues with anxiety before so I was surprised. But at the time I was still awaiting my #coronavirus test results so figured, sure, I'm anxious. Makes sense. I was being startled awake at night after vivid dreams, heart racing and freaked out.
June 28 marks the second anniversary of the shooting at the #CapitalGazette in which my friend Rob Hiaasen and four of his colleagues were killed. Compounding the sadness is that this day also is his wife Maria's birthday.
The world lost an incredible man with Rob's passing, but in addition to the love he left behind is his superb writing that we can remember him by. Here's a link to a selection of his feature writing from the Baltimore Sun to celebrate #ReadingRobDaydrive.google.com/file/d/1GnOvgy…
I encourage you to buy his posthumously published novel, "Float Plan," his book of essays, "Love Punch & Other Collected Columns," or the anthology I am blessed to appear with him in, "Baltimore Noir."
Soooooo what do you do when you are sitting near a man in an airport lounge who is complaining that his bonus is ONLY $75k this year? And why can he not feel me hating at the moment?
BTW he's complaining because that was half of last year's. Sir, stop talking.
Now we have gotten to the part where he's debating paying for his girlfriend's plastic surgery because "It's only been a thing for a year, ya know?" Am I being punked?!?
