There is such a great little scene here at Ikea to watch the SS United States get towed away

I hope that right now 30 different people are writing a film script about what it was like to travel home from the Eagles parade yesterday.

Delightful, insightful, weird and fun:

Well there goes THAT stop on my book tour!

One of the greats. So happy to see this reissue!

Just an odd thing, but the last 3 books I read have a main character named Griselda. What does it mean? The So Blue Marble, by Dorothy B. Hughes kobo.com/en-US/ebook/... Tempest-Tost, by Robertson Davies kobo.com/en-US/ebook/... The Secret Hours, by Mick Herron kobo.com/en-US/ebook/...

It’s not just Philadelphia’s Market Street that needs help, it’s the whole east side of Center City. Here are some ideas to get it going: www.inquirer.com/columnists/m...

I just can’t read enough of the tacky details of the Philly arena deal. Next up though: when can we get to the bottom of the #UArts fiasco?

The All Arts app & Roku channel is such a treasure. You won’t like everything on it, but you will like something on it. Documentaries channel is a place to start: apps.apple.com/us/app/all-a...

If Tumblewords is TED’s final form, I am completely okay with that. It is delightful!

Gen X friends, it feels like now is the time to become those weird liberals we all knew growing up, with the Pete Seeger records and the subscription to Mother Jones.
