Lots of other things to write, too, but they don't want to be written yet, sadly.
The T seems to have updated all the maps. I hadn't realized that the Silver Line has two pieces. On the annoying side, not all the Green Line stops are named on the big map, which I think is foolish.
I just got an announcement of a bat mitzvah kiddush next Shabbat (Noach), for the daughter of my college bf. I don't think I'm really expected (it's in Bala Cynwyd, PA, and I just got the info this evening), though it would be nice to send a gift. Only I have no idea what to get, since the xbf and his wife have definitely shifted right (religiously, possibly also politically) since I was in real contact with them, and I don't know the daughter's taste, either. Any ideas?
Toast!
Micro-review: I picked up an Italian cheese, Galbusera's Solarella (though the Butcherie label has it as "fontal"), just because it was there. It's very nice, medium soft (meunster-ish), but with a flavor that's a bit more intense, on the stinky-cheese scale of intense, especially close to the rind. Not cheap, but if they continue to carry it, I'll likely get it again.
The annual frustration with Jewish holidays: somehow, the best part of autumn always seems to be during the month eaten by holidays and holiday prep. I walk around and see so many trees already aflame, when I missed seeing them start at all.
Debate with self: turn on furnace? Or wait a bit longer? It's 59 F in the apartment.
