Moaning about a tough day at work when my sister texts that her CT scan results were clear—meaning she’s now 5 years cancer free! And now I can’t even remember what I was grumbling about and I’m crying happy tears.

My son’s Brooklyn elementary school track coach Andre Marcano joined the Trinidad & Tobago Bobsled Team and THEY MADE IT INTO THE WINTER OLYMPICS! Watched him carry the flag tonight. Amazing. #Olympics #ps107

“Mom, the #1 rule on the subway is keep to yourself. And if you see someone who’s not keeping to himself, you keep away.” — our 11yo, who has officially become a New Yorker

So…how long’s too long to leave your (fake) tree up? In no rush this year to say goodbye. (Or to Hallmark holiday movies as my poor husband can attest).
