Notably: I was so impressed with the president’s grief-stricken response to the death of Rob and Michel Singer Reiner. Such compassion, such empathy. This is what we look for at moments of national shock, as when Reagan eulogized the Challenger astronauts (“We will never forget them, nor the last time we saw them – this morning – as they prepared for their journey and waved goodbye, and slipped the surly bonds of Earth to touch the face of God.”) I always knew Trump had it in him. I was equally impressed with our hard-working Congress–so hard working, so judicious against all challenges–outdoing Australia’s lawmakers, who as we well know have pledged to strengthen what was already some very strong gun-control laws, the kind of gun control they passed after the Port Arthur massacre of 1996, when Martin Bryant gunned down 35 people. Until the Bondi Beach massacre by that ISIS-inspired pair of vomit, Australia hadn’t known anything like it: 30 years of relative quiet. We hardly go 30 hours without a mass shooting. But good for our GOP Congress and its twin in Tallahassee, showing those socceroos what we’re made of after the Brown University shooting. Or the Stockton shooting. Or the Newark shooting. Anyway, you get the point. And that rain of bills coming out of the Florida Legislature to commemorate Rob Reiner and his wife–ordering college campuses to name streets after them, establishing Dec. 14 as Reiner Remembrance Day, requiring schools to have Reiner Clubs and appropriating those hundreds of millions for a Reiner Film School at UF. I am all verklempt. So proud to be an American. Enough to make me wish all sorts of thoughts and prayers on those lawmakers.

Rob Reiner refused to go on after dress rehearsal. I was in his dressing room. It was hilarious because it was like a monologue, him going, “I can’t do this show, I can’t do this show! It’s bad, it’s horrible, I’m going to make mistakes, I don’t know the lines, I can’t do it, I’m not doing it, I’m sorry, that’s it!” And it was like he was not going to do it. And Lorne just talked him through it. And of course Rob did a good show.
