Waiting for my bus in the new Boston South Station Bus Terminal and the muzak over the speaker system is currently a very soft, tinkling piano version of 4 Non Blondes' What's Up. I'm officially old now.

Productive day at home, got the crock pot going and made vegetable soup with lentils and rice, topped with feta and some manchego and a slice of garlic and cheese Texas toast. General opinion in the household is that the soup is a success. ☺️🙏🥣

Imagine how much anti-immigration brainrot you must have to think the problem with Boston traffic is "illegals" commuting into the city from Lowell or Stoughton in their $80,000 Ford F-3500s to work construction jobs downtown. Oh wait that's like, every contractor I see in the city. 🙄

Last weekend I attended an author panel and Q&A for romance novelist Lyla Sage. I've never read anything by her (just not my interest) but I was with a friend who was a fan and I wanted to see how things went down.
Sage is 29 years old and has written five novels. She went from self-pub to (1/4)

There's like...a half pound of feta cheese on this salad. I think it could feed four people comfortably.
