N.Y. / Region

In Yorkville, the Last Days of a German Bakery

For 116 years, Glaser’s Bake Shop has thrived by honoring tradition. But the family business recently announced it would be closing.

Times change.    
I like dark heavy sourdough rye.  I have not found it recently.

To Raise Resilient Kids, Be a Resilient Parent

Travel

In Mexico, a Former Factory Is an Artful Hotel

L’Otel at Dôce-18 Concept House in San Miguel de Allende has a patio, pool and plush bedrooms (complete with striking photographs).

As convenient.

Back on the Job

Oh, what a tangled web Kevin Der weaves.

Gridlock is a wonderful description of my relationships with people and things. 
It will clear in time - or not.
For now "I am a prisoner of hope and an enemy of time"

Gen X Activism: An Oral History

It was about so much more than watching John Hughes movies and figuring out how to eat sushi.

The boomers were very tired or damaged.
Breeding was slow.  Politics seemed a pointless duty.

Gerald Ford (Mich.) – Bob Dole (Kan.)  They were not exciting.

Pippa Middleton’s Father-in-Law Faces Rape Investigation in France

David Matthews, an owner of the luxury resort Eden Rock, has strongly denied the accusation, which dates to the 1990s.

The French prosecution thinks him guilty.
They are nearly out of time.

Business Day

Going Cashless: My Journey Into the Future

So far in 2018, I have hardly touched paper money or metal coins. There are no grimy bills folded alongside my driver’s license, no quarters or pennies jangling in my pocket.

I would be all cash but my wallet is not thick enough.
As I was warned as a child, every card transaction costs a little more.

Business Day

Walmart Pulls Cosmo From Checkout. Plus! Guess Who’s Claiming Victory.

The National Center on Sexual Exploitation took credit for the decision, linking it to the #MeToo movement, but the retailer would only cite business reasons.

The move is probably trivial.
There were a series of studies in the fifties of sex and pornography as motivation for design.
It was learned that pornography was more motivating than cash.
Gay cisgendered porn was more saleable than hetro sex.
Straight people are unable to distinguish gay from straight by sight.
Gay porn sells at a higher price than straight porn.
Kiddy porn commands the highest price.
S&M, Bondage and Discipline runs a close second. 

Literary and graphic porn is produced almost exclusively by the gay culture.
