Good programme here. We might not have any success in persuading, dissuading, debunking or deprogramming THOSE WHO DO THEIR OWN RESEARCH, but we can at least try to understand their motivations, so-called…good programme!

Monday!

Declan Rice nearly made the difference in his first season with The Arsenal, but it was too much to do to overcome the rampant disregard the asterisked-champs (four years’ running now, four years’ of The Powers That Be looking the other way, MBS / Jared Kushner-levels of flouting) have for any putative financial-fair-play regulations that most of the other teams in your English Premier League choose to abide by. Speaking of fair play, well-done by The Gunners on another fine campaign; someday these sportswashing petrostates will get their ignominious due: LIV, PSG, Qatar World Cup, etc. As these fútbol diehards are fond of saying, ‘We go again in August. We go again…’

Belated 35th birthday earlier this week to young Samuel Alexander Mitchell. Finally got to dine at this snob joint with the rest of the beautiful people. Mangia!

Preakness Weekend! Old Bay! Esskay Frankfurters! Natty Bo!

Yup, you guessed it. Haircut day today! Look sharp!

Thanks for your kind indulgence with the Mental Health Days Off yesterday and most of today. We are back on track for your big Black-Eyed Susan / Preakness Week doings for the duration now. Racing!

Happy Mother’s Day to all those who observe it now. Even at this later hour on the West Coast, dinner plans still figure for the stragglers!
