Former Supt. Alexis Meyer is in the house. Rumors she will be named interim look to have been correct.

Hey @AppleSupport, do better. I’ve been on hold because I need to change my email - which apparently has to be done by phone - and it’s been 90 minutes! Unacceptable.

Something I learned today: Each municipality is required to file an annual report on their ARPA spending, but there is no deadline for filing those reports.

@SouthwestAir Thanks. I had a broken foot and sat in the bulkhead and all in all everything went well. Except for forgetting the laptop.

[Elizabeth McNamara @efm6660]

I left my laptop on @SouthwestAir Monday, on a flight from Chicago to PVD. It was my fault. Even still, I thought it would be found and returned. So far, it has not turned up. I'm bummed. Why post about it? Not sure. I just want the universe to align so I get it back. (1 of 2)

The Varnum Continentals president thinks selling is the best decision for the overall health of the organization and the Varnum Memorial Armory Museum. Others vehemently disagree. https://t.co/wv1mHCbV2P

Shout out to the #RI-DMV. I brought a kind of complicated license plate problem to them and got new plates in less than 30 minutes. Thank you. #ridmv

@MarkThompson_DC homage to the EGHS Class of 1971, as they gather for their 52nd year reunion. It's great writing on its own and so interesting about the then-new high school as EG contemplates a significant school construction #eghs #reunion

This article lays out so well the challenge of building new housing even in a community like Berkeley. Good journalism with a personal touch. https://t.co/lbbZhApBCI

@phileil As a former copy editor, I think of the "Ocean State" as a headline of sorts, so dropping "the" would be correct.

@antoniafarzan Was just thinking that this morning as I walked my dog to a waterfront park nearby. Two men in cars, just parked. One reading, one just hanging out.

Fun article from Patch editor @Neal_McNamara of Worcester, who happens to share the same name as my husband, @NealMcNamara1. As my Neal's grandmother would say, Up Mayo! https://t.co/XxPn9u4t3K

The Cold War began on this day in 1947. In the middle of it, Nobel laureate Bertrand Russell wrote beautifully about the two pillars of human flourishing https://t.co/KgMCUUVUb5

The strange thing about getting old is that on some very deep level you are exactly - and I mean exactly - the same person you've always been.

But on the outer level things have really taken a strange turn.
