@Tess_invests Tess, each spring when the strawberries are ripe, the local ice cream stand makes its own strawberry ice cream with berries fresh from the farm. Unbeatable.

Also the tall bookshelf in my home office....

In 1975 Margaret Hamilton appeared on Mr Rogers Neighborhood to show kids that the Wicked Witch is only scary in Make Believe.

The big day is this THURSDAY! We have a public hearing on our bill to create a Paid Family and Medical Leave program here in Maine. Rep Cloutier & I have spent 2 years collaborating with business owners, employees, and community leaders to build a PFML program that works for ME.

I really, really love Group B. Fond memories of Nana's lemon sorbet served in a giant lemon. #WorldCup of ice cream flavours is giving me huge joy so please keep retweeting. For those coming at me with rules questions, format can be sorbet or ice cream. Go! #icecream #heatwave

@Tess_invests I make a mean homemade raspberry ripple in a hand crank ice cream freezer!

Recommended reading, especially for my Cleveland friends. A great memoir of a struggling English major who takes a job in a Cleveland steel mill. I'd driven past the mill 1,000 times on I-71. Here, finally, is a chance to see inside. @skrticx @oneofmanymikes @derfbackderf

Looking for some humorous reading? Or a crime novel? Or maybe just something starring an #actuary? Well, you're in luck. Here's my review of two Finnish novels by @antti_tuomainen that fit all those criteria.

@oneofmanymikes He was the defining sound of Cleveland sports for so long.

C'mon, fellow actuaries. 2,000 years isn't 20 decades. It's 200 decades, or 20 centuries. Not sure if that's a math lesson or a Latin lesson.

[Daniel D Skwire @DanSkwire]

I've written a few essays about Wallace Stevens, and his careers in insurance and poetry. Here's a link to my review of two interesting books about this brilliant and fascinating poet. (Download the pdf to read it).

[Dana Gioia @DanaGioiaPoet]

Poets have strange biographies almost as a rule, but Wallace Stevens' stands out. He worked his entire life as an insurance executive, kept his personal life completely out of his poetry, and didn't publish his first book until he was 44. https://t.co/6CQ28ySte3

Sometime I forget just how beautiful numbers can be. Here’s a wonderful example.

@SkrticX @ClevelandScene @EncyCle_ @ModelTrainsGB I went to see that a few years ago for the first time when visiting family back in Cleveland. It's spectacular!
