Did some work at the New York Public Library's Rose Reading Room last month. But love my two local libraries (York ME and Hingham MA).

Would be more interesting to see people's 2024 predictions along with their 2025s. Then we could have a "Best of" competition.

The Warriors (1979), now avail on Amazon Prime. OMG, the gangs are so not-scary, like based on the Village People. I enjoyed watching it again after all these years. Lots of classic lines, e.g. "Warriors! Come out to Play-ay...."

My annual reminder to bars and restaurants who like to decorate the stair handrails with garland and lights that some of us need, or like, to use the handrails when we're going up and down stairs. You've basically made them pretty but useless.
