It’s been a minute since grad school but Continental Divide was my fave.

Echoing other calls for public recreation. Copenhagen has these really cool sidewalk trampolines along the waterfront!

Mr. Frosty has come to our block twice in three days. He only left in October. This is too soon.

My Book Club’s February read. Ten “tragicomic” short stories about Arab Americans living in Dearborn, MI.

Love that album. Saw them play at DC9 way back when.

Invisible Child is the non-fiction, urban equivalent to Demon Copperhead which makes it even more gutting.

Book Club pick. Though I’m not usually an Ann Patchett fan, I think I could listen to Meryl Streep read anything. This was beautiful in a slow, steady way.

2024 Reads 📚 My genre of choice is books about nothing and everything at the same time. I don’t read too many male authors but Michael Cunningham had me with The Hours many years ago so I keep coming back to him. This one is a triptych of the same date in 2019, 2020, and 2021.

They serve Campagna too which they are saying will impact snacks and dinner at aftercare programs today 🙁 I’m checking to see if ACPS can provide support.

Will do. Cheers to my fellow last-minute planners 🙃

IMO, this was the best intro yet. Deep appreciation for the dissertation on listicles and the lead in to local identity dissonance 👌🏽
