The Accord I bought brand new in 2016 after I left journalism hit 90K miles on my way to the Y tonight, and I’m peeved that I didn’t notice it as it was happening.

Also: I still love this car.

The SHS Jazz I band entertained IDNR employees and visitors with holiday favorites today. These students rehearse in jazz class everyday and are excellent musicians. Very proud of them all, especially my son on bass.
