Well, here’s my project for the week! This is a brilliant idea.
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.
Older adults are more likely to be hospitalized. Go-bags can make those visits easier
Nearly a quarter of U.S. emergency department visits among people 60 and older resulted in a hospital stay. The rate goes up the older you get. That's why health experts recommend seniors pack an emer...

Finally a shuttle service from Toledo to DTW! This is awesome!
Froggy Transportation, operated by owner and driver Daniel Nunez, uses a green, 14-passenger shuttle that departs daily from Franklin Park Mall at 9 a.m., noon, and 3 p.m., making stops at both the Evans and McNamara terminals at DTW.
New shuttle service connects DTW to Toledo
Froggy Transportation has a 14-passenger shuttle service that connects Toledo and Detroit Metro Airport with three trips a day.

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

Extremely weird that there are no news helicopters overhead at this Philly march, which is massive #HandsOff

I hope that right now 30 different people are writing a film script about what it was like to travel home from the Eagles parade yesterday.

Delightful, insightful, weird and fun:
I wrote about what it's like to cover Philly sports fan and their celebrations in the city, from the Birds' 2018 & 2025 Super Bowl wins to Phillies' NLCS championships and Eagles' NFC wins.

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.

Just an odd thing, but the last 3 books I read have a main character named Griselda. What does it mean?

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...
Market East doesn’t need the Sixers arena to make a comeback
With the right kind of planning, the east side of Center City could turn itself into a modern, mixed-use neighborhood.

I just can’t read enough of the tacky details of the Philly arena deal. Next up though: when can we get to the bottom of the #UArts fiasco?

I was trying to think of what the movie Conclave reminded me of, and it’s that scene in Superstar where Father Ritley (Mark McKinney) butters a piece of toast in silence.

Gen X friends, it feels like now is the time to become those weird liberals we all knew growing up, with the Pete Seeger records and the subscription to Mother Jones.
