Well, you've read the notes, the notes were written on the wall, and now it is time for you to post until the off the wall cows come home.

Voldemort is basically a middle school girl: he has a locket, a diary, a tiara, a ring, and is completely obsessed with a teenage boy.

George asked about my cousin's traveling from The Bronx to go to synagogue every Saturday in Manhattan: How far does she travel?  Does it take very long? 

It's quicker than so many people's commuting from the outer boroughs to their jobs in Manhattan.  The Express Bus, once on the bus, takes about 20-25 minutes to go from Throggs Neck to Manhattan on the East Side, then she has a pleasant (if the weather is cooperative) walk from the bus stop to the synagogue on the Upper West Side.

She says there are no synagogues close by in The Bronx, and most times of the year, the services she goes to are just Saturday morning.

From the synagogue in the West 80's to us on West 43rd, it's a pretty normal subway ride.

This song from the "Writing on the Wall" album by Bucks Fizz feels like it referred (years in advance) to today's Notes.
"I Hear Talk"
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dZnWPYXd_s

"And still I can’t believe what’s going round
I don’t believe you’d ever let me down

I hear talk, I hear the writings on the wall"

And later (in the bridge) references "Chinese whispers circulate"

There was some amazing hair going on in videos in the 1980s!

This part of the lyric now seems prescient about the internet:

If you don't want a headline, better use your head,
'Cause I heard someone say something you said."

I slept in. Annabelle and Thatch loved the extra cuddles. I wish Stella would join us, but that baby prefers to march to another drum.

After I take the trash to the basement, I have no plans for the day. I hope that means I can take it easy.

BK, I'm sorry to hear about Genghis Cohen. I remember a wonderful dinner there after we opened The Brain from Planet X.

It is sad when favorite places go downhill. We have invested so much time and love on them.

I wish the show well, too, but again, I say this as someone who's always cared deeply about you, Larry - be very careful in trusting that friendship with Jack.  Recall your relationship with him before "New Yorkers" - I truly believe from experience that if he ever decides you're not of use to him, the friendship will no longer be trustworthy.
