Minor medical situation on the flight and it’s cool that my wife is able to jump up and help out when they ask for a licensed medical professional.

One day someone will need a regular expression so I stay ready.

Oh no! That sounds terrifying; I’m glad it didn’t catch fire!

If you are considering other EV options as a replacement, @joelaha.bsky.social and I really like our Polestar 3. (We replaced our 2016 Model S with this back in February and have been delighted.)

We've been making this yummy tomato jam with the odds-and-ends tomatoes that keep ripening; it's good on breakfast sandwiches. cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1017...

Tomato Jam Recipe

Good tomatoes and balance are crucial You need sugar for the kind of gooey, sticky quality we associate with jam; otherwise, all you’re producing is a tomato sauce, no matter how different the flavor ...

In these trying times it’s important to still celebrate the good days. And there is no better day than New Bike Day.

Joe stands behind a classic step-through Dutch city bike.

The same bike on its kickstand on a bike path. Trees and the Mississippi River can be seen in the background.

The playground at west river parkway and north fourth Ave has been there for at least a decade - used to take a friend’s kid there (and said kid is in college now! I feel a zillion years old!) maps.app.goo.gl/xMQQJPQQz16C...

Yesterday, @joelaha.bsky.social & I walked the High Line. Great re-use of rail infrastructure! www.thehighline.org

Fun time at the Jet Lag All Stars live show with @joelaha.bsky.social. (We all go to NYC for @nebula.tv premieres, right?😹)

Central Park with family (actual humans, not the pictured geese) and then the delightful littlemorenyc.com for refreshment after a day of walking.

Geese and other birds on the shore, while people boat in Central Park under a blue sky with cotton candy wisps of cloud.

Delicious cocktail and mocktail at Little More, with the menu open to their inventive drinks.
