The photo for Door #3 includes a box but it doesn't say that in the copy. Didn't think anyone was going to give a shit anyway. Although the copy does say, ”Our favorite Victor Sinclair release to date."

Morning, Tony. Middle kid up and out, on her way to DC. Woke up to make sure she and the wife were up, then went back to bed. Or, at least tried to. Fell asleep eventually, once they were gone and the house was quiet again. Lol

She's going to have a great time. The tradition in our town is that the 7th graders go on a weekend camping trip. My boys are scheduled to do that in mid-May. Then in 8th grade, they do the DC trip. That is, if the previous class doesn't fuck that up on them.

They almost weren't going camping this year because of that same class.

Oof, fingers crossed then.

I pulled out our small suitcase for her to take, which we don't usually need to use when we go somewhere, cause we use the bigger two. In fact, in the front pocket, I found an old wallet with my CF 2012 ticket and event schedule/map.

I brought a closed bag of tortilla chips to Brad's place the last time I was there. We never used them and he insisted that I take them back home with me. When my kids opened it they smelled of cigars. Tasted just fine but there was no mistaking the aroma coming out of the bag.

Not sure I posted about it yesterday but the fam and I wound up at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx yesterday with some dear friends. Afterwards, we had an early dinner nearby at Antonio's.

Later we picked up my eldest from Penn Station as she has an early Spring Break.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230306/597ba4075f18e36a36e5a0ed7f9ca46b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230306/abf858e9bf8bb93b8a25486de90ac1e7.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230306/30ce6ce8d69c95c30eea526c2ef1ed34.jpg)

At least if they make you commute a couple of times a week, it's nice the have the flexibility to pick and choose when you do.

It was very nice, indeed. Looks like we'll be going more often too because it was cheaper to get a membership since the family is large. The goal now is to go at least once per quarter. As a member, parking is half price and it might be worth it just for that.

That's cool. We used to have a membership to the natural history museum and they'd change up their special exhibit a couple times a year. But they're going through a huge renovation right now, so a lot of it is closed off for periods of time. Didn't feel like renewing it this time around.

That's cool. We used to have a membership to the natural history museum and they'd change up their special exhibit a couple times a year. But they're going through a huge renovation right now, so a lot of it is closed off for periods of time. Didn't feel like renewing it this time around.
We also have a membership to the Whitney Museum which we like a lot. We were there in the last few weeks.
Had to look that one up, definitely like a good art museum. We have a fantastic one, and the best part is admission is free. In fact, it's right around the bend from the history museum.
That's convenient. Gotta get some culture into these kids. Sheesh.
You mean Snapchat and Tik Tok won't do it for them?!?

Not sure I posted about it yesterday but the fam and I wound up at the New York Botanical Gardens in the Bronx yesterday with some dear friends. Afterwards, we had an early dinner nearby at Antonio's.

Later we picked up my eldest from Penn Station as she has an early Spring Break.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230306/597ba4075f18e36a36e5a0ed7f9ca46b.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230306/abf858e9bf8bb93b8a25486de90ac1e7.jpg)(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230306/30ce6ce8d69c95c30eea526c2ef1ed34.jpg)
Sounds like a pretty good day overall.
It was very nice, indeed. Looks like we'll be going more often too because it was cheaper to get a membership since the family is large. The goal now is to go at least once per quarter. As a member, parking is half price and it might be worth it just for that.
That'll be a nice outing for you guys. Do they have things that alternate every couple of months?
Yes. For example, they have a very renowned Holiday Train Show at the end of the year.

That's Chinese culture. We want to get the rest of the world culture in there too.

Today is Monday, March 6, the 65th day of 2023.
There are 300 days left in the year.



Today’s highlight in history:

On March 6, 1944, U.S. heavy bombers staged the first full-scale American raid on Berlin during World War II.

On this date:

In 1834, the city of York in Upper Canada was incorporated as Toronto.

In 1836, the Alamo in San Antonio, Texas, fell as Mexican forces led by General Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna stormed the fortress after a 13-day siege; the battle claimed the lives of all the Texan defenders, nearly 200 strong, including William Travis, James Bowie and Davy Crockett.

In 1857, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Dred Scott v. Sandford, ruled 7-2 that Scott, a slave, was not an American citizen and therefore could not sue for his freedom in federal court.

In 1912, Oreo sandwich cookies were first introduced by the National Biscuit Co.

In 1933, a national bank holiday declared by President Franklin D. Roosevelt, aimed at calming panicked depositors, went into effect.

In 1964, heavyweight boxing champion Cassius Clay officially changed his name to Muhammad Ali.

In 1970, a bomb being built inside a Greenwich Village townhouse in New York by the radical Weathermen accidentally went off, destroying the house and killing three group members.

In 1973, Nobel Prize-winning author Pearl S. Buck, 80, died in Danby, Vermont.

In 1981, Walter Cronkite signed off for the last time as principal anchorman of “The CBS Evening News.”

In 1998, the Army honored three Americans who’d risked their lives and turned their weapons on fellow soldiers to stop the slaughter of Vietnamese villagers at My Lai (mee ly) in 1968.

In 2002, Independent Counsel Robert Ray issued his final report in which he wrote that former President Bill Clinton could have been indicted and probably would have been convicted in the scandal involving former White House intern Monica Lewinsky.

In 2016, former first lady Nancy Reagan died in Los Angeles at age 94.

Ten years ago: Sen. Rand Paul, R-Ky., a critic of the Obama administration’s drone policy, launched an old-style filibuster to block Senate confirmation of John Brennan’s nomination to be CIA director; Paul lasted nearly 13 hours before yielding the floor. Syria’s accelerating humanitarian crisis hit a grim milestone as the number of U.N.-registered refugees topped 1 million, half of them children.


Five years ago: Top economic adviser Gary Cohn announced that he was leaving the White House after breaking with President Donald Trump on trade policy. Nashville Mayor Megan Barry, a one-time rising star in the Democratic Party, resigned after pleading guilty to cheating the city out of thousands of dollars to carry on an affair with her bodyguard. Schoolteachers in West Virginia announced an end to a nine-day walkout after state lawmakers approved a 5 percent pay raise.

One year ago: A second attempt to evacuate Ukrainians from the besieged city of Mariupol collapsed as Russian attacks made it impossible to create a humanitarian corridor, according to a Ukrainian official. In his first public remarks since resigning over multiple sexual harassment allegations, former New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo assailed the “cancel culture” he says was behind politically motivated efforts to remove him. A massive brawl broke out among fans of clubs in Mexico’s top-division soccer league, leaving 14 hospitalized, two of them in critical condition.

Intrigued, sure. But willing to pay $50+ for a 5er? No way. I might be willing to pick one up at a B&M, but that would only really be for the aesthetic of enjoying one on St. Paddy's Day.

So are mine. And I still forget to take them in with me. When for a half century bags were gratis, you have a problem adapting.
