Wednesday Chat
I wonder if the White House brain trust were scratching their heads, trying to come up with a way to tie the West Wing cocaine to Trump.
From an article by Asia Grace at nypost.com, edited by yours truly: “Brain flossing — or brain massaging — is quickly becoming the hottest self-healing trend online, with social media sound lovers seemingly achieving inner peace within seconds…” The noise is said to have a soothing effect. Headphones are suggested. Adherents claim great stress relief.
