I’ve cut back to the New York Times Weekender subscription. Actually, probably not even the Weekender, because I don’t think I get the Friday paper. I’m going to cancel altogether, as it’s cheaper just to buy the Sunday Times at the bodega than to have it delivered.
As I was walking home from the pharmacy (picking up Mucinex—I’ve got a cold), I saw a bit of a gathering of seniors ahead. Ah! Fifth Avenue Bingo, of course. They were waiting to get in just before opening. I’ve actually played bingo here, and it’s pretty fun. Fairly low-stakes. It would be fun to [...]

The New York Times‘s new strategy is just to sell the crap out of Barack Obama editions. Unfortunately, this inauguration issue has been on the rack for ages. Didn’t seem like excitement over this issue was as fevered as the November 5, 2008, one that declared he won the election.

Went here for lunch. Pretty dead on a Tuesday. Easy getting a table at what’s otherwise a pretty crowded place.
