Me, a spy, approaching a man on a park bench with a newspaper
Me: What about Breakfast at Tiffany's?
Man: I think I remember the film
Me: As I recall, I think we both kind of liked it
Man: Well that's one thing we got
Me: Here are your stolen nuclear codes and your receipt. Have a great day!

My almost-9yo is just starting to get embarrassed by me in public. The other day we're at the taco place, and my presence is making her squeamish.

I really hope reporters everywhere are busy calling GOP congresspeople and cabinet members and short term staff or whatever to get their official positions on the US annexing Gaza.
In the meantime, constituents can also make calls and show up at offices to ask similar questions

Remember the first time he was president he pretended to divest from all his business and did that whole thing with the blank papers in folders. Are we just skipping that now?

When our daughter was two, she stuck a carrot up her nose.
I get a call from daycare. "She stuck a carrot in her nose." I'm racing between meetings.
"A carrot? Your job is very different from mine." It's a joke. But her teacher isn't laughing.

Dear City of Philadelphia, if an apartment building's sidewalks are a sheet of ice 3 days after a snow storm, imagine what's being neglected inside.
Hazardous sidewalks should trigger a full L&I inspection to determine what dangerous conditions tenants are living with every day

Today is good day to reflect that sometimes the best people are taken too early. And sometimes the worst people live way too long.
The world is not just. But through the things we do, the people we love and help, the things we create, and the way we face each day, we can make it better.
