Love Barnes & Noble. At one time they were seen as a villain. But they really made my first book when a number of independent bookstores did not support it. Plus, I liked Len Riggio.

There is often great reluctance to note the role that hostility toward Black people plays in American politics, and has played from the early American republic until today.

Added another set to my upper body workout which pretty much guarantees I won’t make it to the end of Game 7 of the World Series.

And here, too. Very disconcerting to my dog, though. She seemed genuinely puzzled each time we encountered one.

The trick-or-treaters and the people in costumes are out in force in my neighborhood this year. Lots of elaborately decorated homes.

I understand, but I totally blanked on the fact that when it rains like that in Manhattan, it’s bound to cause serious problems. Should be more mindful about public statements.

Deleted a light-hearted post about rainy days being good for working on book reviews. Yesterday was a horror show for many people.

This calls to mind Lizabeth Cohen’s MAKING A NEW DEAL: INDUSTRIAL WORKERS IN CHICAGO, 1919-1939, which demonstrates that voluntarism and charity were insufficient when things got tough and that working people turned to the state, which proved far more effective.

Saw this perfectly-timed exhibit and can't stop thinking about it. So thoughtfully researched and curated. The way they displayed the pieces was creative, inclusive and thought provoking. And it's free just like everything in the library.

I did not get a glimpse of the gondola until I was leaving the show, so I have no real sense of how they actually work. So I will trust your judgment on that.

Went to a show at the Venetian in Vegas. Had no idea they actually have people in gondolas going up and down a canal…

Wow! What a coincidence. Jackson Browne will be next in residence at the Venetian after EWF. Last night was their final show. He starts some time in early Nov.
