I recently began reading The Diary of a Young Girl in anticipation of visiting the Anne Frank House today. After reading Anne’s diary and touring the house, I’m grateful for the preservation of both. If you ever find yourself in Amsterdam, don’t skip a visit to the house.

Decisions being made are impacting A LOT of people and they aren’t happy. Personally, I’m stressed and my contempt is growing. It feels like we’ve been hijacked.

Friends of the James River Park received about $350K in federal grant money to hire people to remove invasive plants and to work with a consultant to build a long-term management plan. Now, they've been asked to cease all work related to those grants.

I have been prioritizing self-care during these uncertain times. Activities that improve my mood include spending time with family, listening to music, playing guitar, eating better, sleeping well, moisturizing, and travel planning.

This youngster spoke for the trees this morning. He testified in support of HB2630, which enables localities to create tree funds for tree replacement during development. Everybody who testified after him pointed to him and the bill passed subcommittee unanimously. 🌳

Two winter storm warnings, a boil advisory, and a water outage. I worked from home and Jasper was with me because RPS was closed. It was a week eerily reminiscent of the early days of the pandemic and one I won’t soon forget. 😅

Deborah, Jasper, and I explored The Ramble in Central Park this morning. We were on a mission to locate the Furever Tree, a memorial Christmas tree for beloved pets. We found it in the heart of The Ramble and hung a photo of our buddy Henry Pup on it. We miss him so much. ❤️

Deborah, Jasper, and I rode Amtrak’s Adirondack train from Montréal to NYC today. The views of wintry Lake Champlain were a highlight. I watched The Babadook for the first time during the journey and throughly enjoyed it. We’re riding Northeast Regional 99 to Main Street Station tomorrow. 🚆
