After about two decades, I returned to the Tonga Room (actually on the same date that Anthony Bourdain visited back in 2012, I learned). It is a tiki thunderstorm of a place! Adore and thoroughly recommend. I will NOT let even a few years pass by again. #TongaRoom www.timeout.com/usa/news/thi...

I love this Black-owned, woman-owned business in Oakland doing sustainable work to keep mannequins out of the grinder, literally: www.timeout.com/san-francisc... . . . #MannequinMadnes #Mannequin #Holiday #Gift #Christmas #Hanukkah #Kwanzaa #Oakland #BlackBusiness #WomanOwned #Quirky #kitsch

Visited the Elizabeth Cady Stanton Home & the Nat'l Women's Rights Historical Park in New York. If her name isn't familiar, we have her & others to thank for FIGHTING for women to be able to vote in our country. Closed for the season but we peered through windows and sat a spell to rock on the porch

In the department of silly things, today I was thinking about how odd the word "grownups" is: a childish (ironically) combination of words to get to a noun that illustrates some sort of achievement. If I add a mental breath between grown and up ("She's a grown up") it seems even sillier.

Hello, 1st post. I'm a journalist (Time Out, WashPost, WSJ, others) and author (best known book is not well known, The Witch's Trinity). Three days after the election, I visited the Women's Rights National Historical Park and sat in a rocking chair on Elizabeth Cady Stanton's porch. Lots to digest.
