🧵The problem, as always is the connections. The cheaper model I had before came with a little “BOB,” a USB-A to -C adapter, and that’s gone missing. The new way the peripheral is made, it has a close-fitted recess on the bottom where the short cord can live until it’s needed.

The theme of the puzzle is Stephen Sondheim, who wrote “Look, I Made a Hat,” a book of his lyrics.The information page from the NYTimes Crossword for January 13, 2026, which explains that circled puzzle letters form a title by Stephen Sondheim.I searched for a listing on eBay, to see if I could buy the entire box set.

This one is the second volume, of the latter half of his songs.

The suggested price is $44.44, which KLARNA suggests can be paid in 4️⃣ installments of $11.11 each.

That angered me, everybody trying to get their little percentage.

An except (a screenshot) of the new review of Samuel Pepys by the London Review of Books.

It will appear in the print edition of 22 January 2026, I believe.

I underlined two passage about Pepys.

The first, describing his kidney stone removal surgery, and that “the stone” was nearly as large as a tennis ball.  Pepys kept it.

The second, where Pepys commented that Parliament was so reviled after the coronation of Charles II, that schoolboys would shout “kiss my Parliament,” instead of “kiss my ass”.
