Voted Class Flower Child in 1970 but it should have been Class Revolutionary. I host Book Stew, a monthly show/podcast featuring nationally known and local authors. I read like the wind. I'm a native New Yorker and proud Masshole.

A picture of Elon Musk, via the London Economic. The quote says “If a monkey hoarded more bananas than it could eat, while most of the other monkeys starved, scientists would study that monkey to figure out what the heck was wrong with it. When humans do it, we put them on the cover of Forbes.“ – Nathalie Robin Justice.
