BV retweeting to Jenn's list.

It is with sorrow that I confirm we lost @Steenshorne last week. I'm still at a loss for words, but can share a notice our friend Robert Platt of NYU Libraries distributed there, via my FB account:

@Matt_Rehrer Yes.

@morganfmckay @Tom_Suozzi I guess he's never been to the Port Authority Bus Terminal.

In the Georgian period, people exchanged gifts on Twelfth Night (January 6). But George III received some small gifts, including a toy carriage and four whirligigs. Read more about Christmas during the Georgian period: https://t.co/a5vUo3HU1k

@michelle_orihel Thank you!

My Covid Cough makes me feel like I have been slammed in the ribs by baseball bats.

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]

@urbaninsideout @BenepeBotanic Thank you! Just really tired.

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]

Just took a home Covid test. Positive. I've had two shots, so not so bad aside from the exhaustion and cough. Booster in January. I haven't left the house in 2 months, so exposure was via my husband. I also had an early case of Covid.

In a recent virtual event at @ColumbiaGS Jacques Pepin reflected on everything from his academic years to his favorite tools in the kitchen. (Hint: there are ten and most people have them.) https://t.co/5HQQJBSAel

@SpiesVespers The "cab driver" in DAF (book) is based on him, I think.

@R_A_Barr @JulieLong18thC I still smell burning beef at random times. And I am prone to conjunctivitis.

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]

@k72ndst @USNavy Ha! I remember when my dad laid the bomb on me that his dad (journey man actor) knew Paul Robeson. And the local bookie and numbers guy tried to recruit my uncle Dan. And my mom's dressmaker did time on a wire charge.

Who were the family record-keeper in your family? The ones who had all the papers, but also knew all the stories? My parents were those people, and that's probably why I ended up doing what I do.

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]

@JulieLong18thC Thank you! Late November/December 2019. I remember so many people saying "I have this weird respiratory thing I can't shake." Exhaustion, fatigue, chest pain, bad breathing, stupid dry cough... good luck with your booster.

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]

@k72ndst @USNavy Yes, there's so much I only hold in my head. I need to write it down. My husband is starting to get his dad to open up more, which is good. We also have stories/lore about non- family members we need to write down.

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]

@k72ndst @USNavy Very cool!

[Dr. JE Steenshorne, Harborer of Cats @Steenshorne]
