My FitBit is my friend.
I wanted a FitBit badly. A few months ago, my wish came true, and my FitBit appeared wrapped on my kitchen counter. It wasn’t really a surprise but I was happy.
I read with intense interest this morning an article in The New York Times Magazine about the Voyager probes. They were launced in 1977 and, have now, reached beyond the boundaries of our solar system. The story was as much a human interest story--many of the same engineers who launched the probes are still working on the project--as it was a science article. The overwhelming question is what will the Voyager probes find beyond our solar system.
My household changes in the summer.
When one works in a school for the NYC Department of Education aka NYC Public Schools, one generally enjoys most of the season without any work responsibilities; so it goes for “Mrs. B.”
Chalk this one up to the French. They are starting to offer fresh oysters from vending machines...yes, fresh oysters.
Tony Berthelot, an oyster farmer is offering a range of quantities, types and sizes of live oyesters 24 hours a day, seven days a week on the Ile de Re island off France's western coast.
The refrigerated dispenser, one of the first and with glass panels so customers can see what they are buying, is similar to those that offer snacks and drinks at railway stations and office buildings worldwide.
When I was young the ice cream choices were pretty much limited to chocolate or vanilla with yucky strawberry bringing up the rear. For whatever the reason, I always chose chocolate. To be honest, I didn't even consider vanilla to be a flavor. It was something neutral to spice up with chocolate sprinkles or sauce (Bosco). I never allowed myself to savor the delicious vanilla bean flavor. I never rolled it on my tongue and enjoyed the more subtle taste sensation.
Welcome August. I love the month of August. It's my birth month (which I proudly share, both month and day, with fellow Gothamite, Lisa Waterman).
"Your Turn," that is the name of the 10 min film you are encouraged to watch if you are chosen to be in the Jury select pool in New York State.
It promotes the idea that you are doing a great service and the trials will be "fascinating."
I'll leave it up to our litigating Gothamites to answer that one.
