It's day 88 of my exile from the office, but I recently found out I may get to go in for a day soon. Will this happen before the 24th (day 100)? Who's got the over/under on that?
Meanwhile, outside my bubble:
- A new book alleges that Melania Trump remained in New York during the first few months of her husband's presidency as a tactic in renegotiating her prenuptial agreement.
- Michael Tomsky asks, "Why does Trump lie?"
- Cellphone data shows that people in some parts of the country are gathering at pre-pandemic levels. (Not in Chicago, however.)
- A stretch of Broadway in Lakeview (the Chicago neighborhood adjacent to mine to the south) will close to traffic tomorrow so that it can open to restaurants.
- One of my favorite Internet producers, Julie Nolke, wonders "where missing puzzle pieces go."
- AVWeb has a nifty catalog of all the ways pilots try to stop being pilots...abruptly.
