Our eldest kid, back home after 4 yrs at Mt Holyoke -- You know, I really miss Dunkin
Me -- We've got Dunkin here now
Kid, quiet & wistful -- It's not the same

For @Curbed I took a stroll around Hoboken to figure out how they've managed to avoid a single traffic fatality in four years

Youth 0-36
Middle Age 37-72
Old Age 73-108
This is science, and the science behind it is:
In 2nd grade during the US Bicentennial I decided to live to see the Tricentennial. I'll be 108 in 2076, and hey, 108 is divisible by 3. It can't be a coincidence.
As I pondered the latest manifestations of my advancing decrepitude this morning I wondered: at 52 am I still middle-aged or already old? I know what my students would say (anything/anyone over 30 is old).

A friend in town for a wedding was going to stay w/me. I got Covid, so she got a hotel. I felt badly.
Then, all wknd, I've been getting amazing pics of her around town on the free bike (!) from her hotel: Lk Harriet Bandshell; Betty & Earl's Biscuits; Walker Giant Blue Chicken.
Flashbacks to "Forward March Hare" (C. Jones, '53) where Bugs -- mistakenly drafted into the Army -- is asked to clean and dress chickens for dinner.
I have been alerted to the existence of pet chicken diapers with bow-ties, and I'd just like you to join me in a group meditation, just let your mind expand around the concept of people buying bow ties for their chickens,

Just heard @Old97s followed by Deee-Lite in the local @ChuckandDons. Think I have to move in there now.
The final, beautiful haul:
Italian roast beef
Hot coppa
Cantuccini
Cannoli
Amazing chewy rolls (like a ciriola maybe)
