This weekend… Free birthday @starbucks drink! Followed by pics of birthday spills number 1 thru 3. Don’t drink hot cocoa and drive, kids. I #love Philly. Two new dog pics: 1) Sequoia with Ender. She had to keep him company while Falkor went to the vet. He apparently howled the whole time lol. 2) Usually, Ender is the one who sits on the step and surveys his kingdom. This morning, I found Falkor next to him and it reminded me of an old couple sitting on a park bench together. (Is it wrong to call these “dog pics” when the first one is also of my beautiful kid?) I am DYING here. Sequoia @koiimrtndll got her Spotify list of most-listened-to songs yesterday. This song—which she was SO sick of—made it. Why, you ask? Because—as both she and my mother @teryerdew know—I started every single day of the 40-day 🚗roadtrip🚗with it (plus however many other times I’ve listened to it). 😂😂🤣 #karilogueroadtrips #roadtrip https://www.instagram.com/p/Cz_bTDDsPsi/ Friday morning took a nice walk. @koiimrtndll and I spent the other night at the lovely St. Regis Hotel, right on Black Lives Matter Plaza—out front is BLACK.  We were greeted with a flute of champagne. Breakfast was delicious. Beautiful hotel! EC POETRY & PROSE GOT A NEW SIGN!!!!!! Ready for it?  Special thanks to @koiimrtndll for filming…and commentary?? So excited!!!
