My league draft had been in-person at the commissioner's house, until 2020. As the league grew to 16 it was held in a large outdoor covered patio, with lots cold cuts, hot dogs, chilli, beer, etc. To avoid vaccine and mask questions, I suspect it will be virtual again in 2021.

After getting vaccinated, I'm traveling to San Francisco to visit my daughter and help her choose her first car. She didn't need a car in undergrad or the last 5 years in Boston. She's narrowed the choices to a Mazda CX-5, Honda CR-V, Toyota RAV4. Just now, a friend convinced her to also check...

My youngest daughter, late 20s, and her girl friend (not romantic) just moved to LA, without a job, with a few months of money in the bank and with few contacts (her friend's brother lives there). They've been talking about this move for a year. They view LA as a paradise for...

I live in a 400 SF efficiency without heating. Several older hotels Miami Beach, including a few big ones, also have no heating. It's not an issue most years, but it's supposed to get down to the 40s in 2 days. A couple of years ago, it got down to 59 in my apt. Bearable, but cold. Space heaters...
