In the 70s I wrote a piece for MS. magazine on why men should support the ERA. A law professor fact-checked it and said, “Whoever wrote this seems to know nothing about constitutional law.” So, instead, I interviewed HER. She was brilliant. And kind. She was Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

In 1983 a 30 second Super Bowl ad cost $450,000 for airtime. The Hawkeye/Houlihan kiss in the finale lasted a bit longer than 30 seconds. So it was called the $450,000 kiss. It now costs $7 million for an ad. I don’t know if I’m up for this. The pressure. The pressure.

We need this day every day now- remembering what we have to be grateful for, no matter how small it is. This can get us through. Gratitude is the attitude.

Am I happy about the Oscar nominations for Noah Baumbach, Adam Driver, Scarlett Johansson, Laura Dorn, and “Marriage Story” itself as Best Picture? Am I happy? Am I jumping up and down here? I love it.
