A fun fact about me is that for years I thought that Flowers in the Attic was Flowers for Algernon. So when people talked about their sexually charged experiences reading it, I was like "The book where the guy gets smart? Whatever turns your crank, I guess."

For unexpected reasons, we had an art gallery in the front of our design studio for 4 years, and it was so fantastic.
More people should have art opening parties in whatever space they have available with whoever they know who does art. It's super fun to eat cheese and crackers and look at art.

In a significantly weirder case, "Sleeping Lady with Black Vase" is a 1928 oil painting by Róbert Berény. It was lost in WWII, and considered looted by the Nazis and likely destroyed afterwards in the chaos... until someone recognized it as set dressing in the movie "Stuart Little."
Yes, really.

As someone who is supposed to be flying home on Friday, this uncertainty is super fun and not at all anxiety-inducing, thanks so much to everyone involved, but especially to Delta for emailing me to tell me if they DO cancel my flight, they'll email me.
LGA Terminal B sent an email last night to its tenant airlines (United, Air Canada, JetBlue, Southwest, etc) that basically says "hey if you know wtf is going on, let us know?"
Meetings between airlines and FAA didn't happen until *last night* for operational impacts starting *Friday*. Unreal.

Can we get a 6-part prestige drama about Curtis Sliwa's career as a professional eater. Dude came in 3rd in Nathan's Famous Hotdog Eating, holds a record for most pickles, was DQed from a matzah ball eating contest for illegal ball handling, and the mob kicked him from a meatball contest.

Throw back to four years ago when I thought I had the perfect costume to wear to the Vegas Halloween show and the only reaction I got was four people asking me where the Dunkin Donuts was in the MGM Grand. Just another d-bag from Boston.
