This November, I’m working on several book proposals. I’m taking a third run on one topic. Three times a charm! To get some quality work done, I’ve been working at the local Barnes and Noble and at the town library. It’s really nice to get out of the house.

It looks like schools in NYC are going to close on Monday.

I’m really into inexpensive home furnishings lately. Including these great rugs — Chris Love Julia — on Amazon. This weekend’s home project? I’m framing some old ads from vintage women’s magazines for my new laundry room.

Tonight on the tube: Mandalorian and episode 2 of Queen’s Gambit.

Newsletters are the new blogs. I subscribe to at least a dozen right now. I’m adding Matt Yglesias’s new newsletter to the mix. (He’s leaving VOX, because he wants to be able to speak his mind freely. He owns his own web company. This is really sad, you know.)
