Marty Irons assembled a hospital go-bag for his 94-year-old father after he suffered a series of falls.
The bag contains medical and contact information, medications, a change of clothes and a paperback mystery in case of an emergency stay.

The quest this week is for a non-Internet-enabled e-reader, that you can load off a laptop or a USB, for a friend to take to rehab. One depressing learning: prisoners, who also need an e-reader like this, have to rent one from a vendor for more money than any of them make

Delightful, insightful, weird and fun:

Warren is the ranking member on the Senate Banking Committee. Wyden is the same on the Senate Finance Committee. They need to go to the Treasury building with crews from CNN and NBC and demand to be let in. As soon as they're not, hold a press conference right there and explain what DOGE is doing.

It’s not just Philadelphia’s Market Street that needs help, it’s the whole east side of Center City. Here are some ideas to get it going: www.inquirer.com/columnists/m...
