This was a really good Eric Adams Watch. It was difficult to choose my favorite, actually. On the one hand, the mayor citing a terrorist attack and a new business opening as two of the many examples of a typical day in the big apple was next-level. But I went with the mayor disavowing his own book because the first one seemed like a flub any politician could make, whereas the book thing seemed specific to Eric Adams.
Way way back in high school, I did a paper on Albert Einstein. He mentioned that clothes were basically worthy of no thought. He had 7 suits, all the same. The light came on. Since then, blue denim pants, black pocket T-shirt with white tube socks. In 55 years it has served me well. Sure makes things simple, and black for sure with obvious reasons. Best of luck with yours!

no mas mayor adams we beg of you there is a vacancy in your very soul
oh btw that sandwich aint THAT big no doubt Aharon wudda made short work of it just sayin'
Pronoia. Woah. Beside that I am always eager to expand my vocabulary (thanks for this word), this is a fantastic way of thinking, life philosophy or call it what you want, to practice every day. For some, it might seem crazy - but being negastive all the time as so many do, is not less crazier, either...
Money: I always have tons of coins on me, because I sing in the streets. So, my special and very unique purse for the half kilogram change is guess what: an empty plastic refill pack for instant coffee.
When I take it out to pay with it somewhere, the ladies at the cashier love it!
How hilarious those money stories are!!
Uniform: I used to wear a lot of black too - not this much, though. Until I learned that it's only certain personality types that can wear black anytime and anywhere, all the others will feel and look old, heavy, sick, sad, etc. That's regardless of one's natural colors of skin, eyes, hair. Since I have adopted this styling knowledge, I indeed feel and look younger, lighter, brighter, etc. My secondary personality type does allow black, so that explains my 2 favorite, almost unifor dresses, beside all the bright colors that I have.
ooh love ask dan the librarian feature! i don't currently have a book question but i'm sure i can think one up eventually. with planning to move to a new place in the summer, i took the time to actually examine all my books and think about re-read/sentimental value...and managed to prune about 20! leaving 233 behind, sure, but it was something!
as the servant of an 8lb white maltese/chihuahua, and wearing a lot of black, i basically just ignore the pet hair at this point. doesn't help that even if i switched to other colors, i've got the dark gray cat to show up on all my white clothes, lol.
TGIM because we get a Café Anne newsletter! An absolute delight, from the title complete with ‘finger quotes’, down to the very last word: Schipperke! Already a fan of the new Ask A Librarian feature. Thank you for the photo of the sandwich, that bread will haunt my dreams.
As always, the best part of my work week is stealing some time to read your newsletter, Anne. You do realize that you have jinxed yourself with this one: "unless I happen to get sweaty or spill something, and that is not likely as I am a very cool lady." 😎
I had the same thought as Tina because my cat is orange and white. You'll have to teach me how to use a lint brush because I've never seen Minnie's hair on you!
When Dan says that the digital copy of the book costs more for libraries, it can be A LOT more, ten or more times as much. For a big city library like Brooklyn that's why there aren't as many copies of a popular title, but for a smaller library, with a tiny budget, just imagine.
If you are reading on a Kindle, or another dedicated reading device, you can download your title, then put the device into airplane mode. The title then won't auto-magically be returned until you re-connect to wi-fi. You can then take your time reading. You can also return the book using a computer or phone, making it available sooner to other library users, while still having it on your Kindle.
Wait -- only one pair of the boots? I've read that shoes are supposed to rest for a day or so after you wear them, and that it's a good idea to switch up heel heights. (Yes, I am obsessed with this uniform topic!)
The 9-11 reference is one of the wildest things anyone said in 2023…and some SHIT was said last year.

Quite a contrast in sartorial strategy between you and Adams. Has there ever been a politician famous for wearing the same outfit?
This is all delightful; thank you!
I'm wondering if we should 'cross the streams' and inquire about Dan the Librarian's wardrobe?! (LOL)
Matching the dog to the uniform is next-level!

Maybe Mayor Adams is the one who needs to take a mental acuity test.
