    I still haven’t gone through the pickleball stage of late middle aged white folk yet. Puzzles and then finally bingo are even further out.

        Only NY and Philly are in the top 20 today. Only those and Boston and Baltimore are in the top 100.

            We have the gear, just haven’t played yet.

              The population of Portsmouth, NH hasn't changed all that much, 4k to 22k

              Nantucket 4k to 14k (winter pop, up to 80k in the summer)

                    I remember when that guy died, maybe 15 years go, and reading his obituary.

                    Extraordinary bad luck? Or extraordinary good luck? Or some of each?

                      From a Nate Silver newsletter.

                      IMG_2461.png

                      Somewhat surprised by the magnitude of the blip around the Rodney King incident and subsequent riots. But then again I was living in Mexico and the internet wasn’t really part of our lives back then.

                            Pickleball gear, silly.

                            Janet has this puzzle mat that rolls up or something. Luna, the supernaturally good cat, never would bother it. Stella, on the other hand, lives to do that which is forbidden.

                                  On FB today someone childishly insulted my favorite Italian restaurant. In my pique I looked for how to say asshole in Italian. Lo and behold, I found a cornucopia of Italian swear phrases!

                                    When I left the U, one of the CRNAs gave me a book on how to swear in almost any language. I found it useful when I started working with more surgeons who were trained overseas.
