An Earth Day Suggestion
Having trouble finding a way to help the Earth today? If so, may I suggest reducing the amount of junk mail clogging your mailbox. It’s within your control, relatively painless, and helps both you and the Earth. Ye olde win/win in management talk.

Never Try New Things
I normally bike up First Avenue in the mornings until about 75th St. before cutting across town to get to work. Today I thought I’d mix it up a bit and cut over to Third Ave at 49th St. then head the rest of the way uptown on Third. Change is good and all that, [...]
