There was no dance class the week of Thanksgiving until Sunday and then my ballet teacher had us doing heel lifts. Now my calves feel like someone strapped flaps of pain to the back of my legs.

Imagine being so determined to have the last word you write a jerk’s obituary before you die.
A Sharon Begley byline, almost 5 years after her death.
Upon hearing the news James Watson had died, a STAT reporter said in our Slack, "I wish I could read what Sharon would have written."
Incredible news: Sharon in fact did pre-write a Watson obit. And it is masterful and excoriating.

The results of the Albuquerque city election were not quite every race, but yeah, I’m feeling pretty good about that D&D club 😁
Every race. It’s basically been every race.
Governors. Mayors. Long-held GOP dog-catchers. School boards. Water boards. Flipped a dungeon master in a rural Iowa D&D club. State senators. State reps. A janitor in Duluth. State justices. Three GOP Uber drivers.
Just everything.

Gorgeous sight on the way in to work this morning, since I was driving in at sunrise and not an hour before. Since I was driving I didn’t stop to take a photo, but I felt inspired to paint a watercolor when I get home. Did this doodle at my desk so I don’t forget.

Santa Fe families: your dentist can prescribe fluoride chewables for your kids. Families using well water hopefully already have these.
The city of Santa Fe will no longer add fluoride to its water supply, something city officials said was due in part to high costs and ongoing research into the health risks and benefits of fluoride. sfnm.co/47mRSRM
Santa Fe no longer putting fluoride into water due to high repair costs, health risk concerns
City officials say fluoridating the water to the lower CDC standards would be challenging and costly — possibly as much as $500,000.
