Thanks to you at home for joining us. This hour, really happy to have you here. You know what tomorrow is? Tomorrow is Friday Eve, which means you're almost there. You're going to make it. Trust me. Do you know Roz Chast, the cartoonist?

Ross Chast does cartoons for the New Yorker magazine, and she has forever.

She's been doing that since the 1970s.

Roz Chast also wrote a fantastic book that I read a decade ago that has stuck with me ever since.

It's written, it's cartoons.

It's written in her style and in her art form, which is cartoons, but it's a memoir.

It's about her parents aging into their late 90s and all the crazy decisions or the lack of decisions that made their lives and her life as their daughter such a mess as they

got really old.

It's this very serious book, but told through cartoons. It's really good.

It has stuck with me for a decade.

It also has the perfect title, which is, can't we talk about something more pleasant?

Anyway, needless to say, I'm a big Roz Chast fan, and I have been my whole adult life.

And one of Ros Chast's cartoons that I keep thinking about all the time in this news environment

that we are living in right now is this one.

And she has done several cartoons on this theme of Venn diagrams.

You've got two circles and they overlap and the overlap is usually where the joke is.

But in this one, it's a Venn diagram, and on the left, the circle is labeled fun, and on the right,

the circle is labeled boring.

And in the Venn diagram overlap between fun and boring, that's Bob.

Hi, Bob.

It was fun and boring.

I think about that all the time.
