Not a holiday theme, but around this time of year the NYC Transit Museum brings out some of the old train cars and runs them on a short route from a subway station in the lower east side of Manhattan.

Never had Twitter. I am only on Facebook (and here). Leery of engaging in another internet distraction.

I don’t use the app, but I have a NYT subscription, so I see the latest recipes as they are published (online and in the Sunday paper). Some are great, others less so. And some are poorly written (leaving out important steps, etc.). I reject the ones that require multiple fussy steps that I just don’t have time for. Or if I do take the time, the results had better be pretty terrific. (I have a graveyard of printed recipes on which I’ve written “Don’t make again.”)

Just now seeing this. Wow, a great travelogue, Steve! I love your eye for the beauty of these monumental buildings. Nice to see what's happening in Detroit.

I'm also fond of my hometown of Buffalo. Very prosperous place at the turn of the 20th century, and you can see it in the grand mansions, public buildings and Olmsted's parkway system. Very gracious.

Order! Yes, I'm going to order some things from Amazon. That should calm me down, at least a bit.

Watching through closed fingers.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going.

I admit it, we have MSNBC on most of the time. So that’s where we’ll probably be.

Trump has given half the country greater anxiety for the past 4 years, and that’s without even being in office. He just never goes away.

Thanks!
