I've never been able to get through "I can see clearly now" without bursting into tears. I don't totally understand why because it's such a happy song! Maybe it's just the perpetual yearning to get to that place, to finally be after the rain. πŸ’”

It's more polite to "ghost" at a party than to make a big fuss about leaving.

This is our baseline, before the Medicaid cuts that passed last week are implemented.

The protest stories from my parents’ retirement communities are amazing. Budgets for sign making committee, transportation sign ups, walker brigade v mobility carts fracas. Fired up seniors are something to behold.

Oh neat! We are going there in six weeks. We planned this trip before the mad king decided to pick a fight with them over Greenland, have you felt any hostility? We were considering sewing maple leaves to our luggage...

Those of us who work in aging point this out all the time! Plenty of selfish reasons for everyone of all ages to support programs that prevent from starving.

The biggest thing we need to do is let people know that the protests are FUN. Yelling fuck the man is fun. You will meet fun people.

We also need to make them more fun. Bring grills like the French. Bring instruments like it’s Mardi Gras. Give people a reason to spend their weekend in the streets.

I had the same feeling coming back from Los Angeles! Don't get me wrong, I love it here, but after seeing the lifestyle out there, all this grayness and shoveling made me feel like a real sucker.

Lovett and baking is one of my preferred Sunday AM routines too!

Opinion: The Country is Still Anxious About Affordability. For Older Adults, This is Nothing New. "The city can minimize emergency housing and long-term care costs by investing in organizations that help older adults access the benefits they're entitled to."

Case management services are essential for helping older adults thrive. But a lack of City funding means there simply aren’t enough case managers to provide services.

The City must invest in human services nonprofits, who are a lifeline for our communities.
