So, in the meantime, I'll let you know what's on my mind today:
1) New York City mayor has decided to make Times Square a pedestrian mall. Finally! There's nothing fun about walking up Broadway with your face in the sweaty armpit of a stranger.
I'm a big fan of pedestrian malls, in part because I love the German word Fußgängerzone. I'm not sure why, it's just fun to say, as are all German compound words, like Einhandmotorkettensägenführerlehrgangsteilnahmebestätigung , which means "One-man-motor-chain-saw-operator's-instruction-course-participating-certificate."
Y'know, in case you ever need one.
2) Is it seemly to discuss the First Lady's arms? I suppose Michelle Obama's right to bare arms might qualify her for membership in the NRA, but I feel sorry for Hillary Clinton, who got slammed for her cankles. 3) Apparently thin is in for baseball players. A few doping scandals and suddenly guys are returning to spring training 30 pounds lighter. Personally, I find the whole steroid kerfuffle ridiculous. There's no medical proof they're harmful and plenty of proof that they're helpful and no different than any other performance-enhancing drug. And if you wanna look like this freak, I say have it.
Unless, of course, you're the First Lady.

I didn't know they were transforming Broadway into a pedestrian walkway. Good news.
Boston has had it's share of protest when we closed off Downtown Crossing; and in Salem, Mass too with our Essex St walkway.
I like being able to walk freely about without hacking car exhaust. Let the cabs go an alternate route.
I thought long-term illegal steriod use is proven to destroy your kidneys, seriously mess up your hormones and lead to potentially dangerous depression. Plus it shrinks your testicles.
