it's too late when we die
1988
Every generation
Blames the one before.
And all of their frustrations
Come beating on your door.
I know that I'm a prisoner
To all my Father held so dear,
I know that I'm a hostage
To all his hopes and fears.
I just wish I could have told him in the living years.
#1 on the US Billboard chart
milk of human kindness
Just over 100 miles northeast of New York City in Litchfield, Connecticut, is the amazing, world class Arethusa Farm.
Arethusa is not just any farm.
Owners Tony Yurgaitis and George Malkemus have assembled hundreds of acres and over 350 head of the world’s finest dairy cows, and the milk they produce has become world famous.
Their herd is comprised of Jersey’s, Holsteins and Swiss Browns.
The air is always fresh, the barns are immaculate and good music keeps the cows very contented.
In 2006 their prize winning Jersey Veronica — at 16 years old the Grand Dame of the farm — claimed Supreme World Champion honors at the World Dairy Expo.
Needing an outlet for their best-in-class daily products, they opened a farm store to showcase their milk, cream, yogurt, cheese, butter and insanely delicious, high-butterfat ice cream.
Their farm-to-table restaurant Arethusa al tavolo is always packed.
“Cheap and fast is good enough” has overtaken the modern world,
but not at Arethusa.
but not at Arethusa.
It’s comforting to know this kind of attention to the little things
still exists.
still exists.
And wins prizes for simple excellence. Year after year.
Thanks George and Tony!

anyone else will be better
nydaily news
Until now I’ve assumed de Blasio is a decent man with terrible policies.
But it turns out he is actually a liar who sold City Hall appointments to the highest bidder for cash.
His staff used a spreadsheet to detail the amounts of cash that would purchase the more powerful appointments.
This is the same man who complained about
So the mayor is not just an ass, he is on the cusp of criminal charges for putting City Hall up for sale to any who would give him the money.
And the charges are so evidenced, he is quietly beginning to give the money back.
Bill deBlasio is not just the worst mayor ever.
He’s a crook.
