I mean it’s not that early now but for that many people to have gathered there in NYC by now - they must have all started SO early. Why? Half the country is still asleep (it’s not even 6.30am in CA).

I think they are cold. They are professional dancers so unfortunately just used to putting up with pain….

These dancers look cold and like maybe they drank a bit too much coffee. The outside audience looks cold and bored.

Alas I did not quite make it. Guess I’ll have to do a few on Sunday and Monday. Sigh.

OK I have just 7 left in my list for Dec 1st (or earlier), and I'm calling it... I need a break before I can handle any more anyway...

And now I stop for the day with LoR, but I still have three new letters to write, and 24 separate uploads before Dec 3rd (I did 17 uploads and wrote/updated letters for 4 different people today). 🔭👩‍🔬🎢

I think people often do it when they themselves struggle to remember which communication mode a specific message is in. Send a message to both and remove that mental load from the person you are contacting?
