One of my favorite things is getting to tell friends who are new to NYC that the subway "stand clear of the closing doors please" voice is a trans woman named Bernie Wagenblast and she's amazing.

My sister was concerned when our mom didn't answer the phone or respond to texts at 8 pm on a weeknight, so she went over there. She and Dad were watching that playoff game that went for I-can't-remember-how-many innings.

I talk about her in my Black abolitionists of NYC walking tour and usually no one has heard of her but she was Rosa Parks on the bus 100 years before that incident.
In 1855 Elizabeth Jennings Graham brought a suit that initiated the desegregation of NYC transit. Raised by politically active parents (her was mother formerly enslaved, her entrepreneur father was awarded a patent in 1821) Ms. Graham was a teacher, organist, & kindergarten founder.

It's a myth, Charlie Brown. You CAN put hot food in the refrigerator.
Divide large amounts into smaller portions and get them in within 2 hours. Bacteria can grow rapidly on food left out at room temp for +2 hours.

Last night I dreamed I ran into an acquaintance who had just adopted six kittens, and she let me play with them. The end.

Assuming they would all be expertly prepared to my personal taste, I guess I'd get rid of ham because it doesn't go as well with things like stuffing. I've never had green bean casserole, but I'd like to try it.
with charity and goodwill, i must here part ways with rolls.

I have seen several raccoons in the neighborhood over the past few months—including five in my building's courtyard—after years of not seeing any.

Today's excitement: I figured out how to unstick the speedometer needle that got stuck all the way to the right when my dad replaced the battery. Gotta pound on the dash *while* driving, which, once I thought about it for a second, of course you have to be driving.
