Woah. Trump tells TIME he would “let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans.”

This is the future we’re looking at if he’s elected in November. time.com/6972021/donald…

From Columbia's President:

#HistFicMay Introduction: I'm a lawyer and lifelong New Yorker. For HistFic, my novels are set in the early years of NYC's Gilded Age, the first MC being an Irish farmgirl who arrives in 1870.

I also write contemporary LitFic & romances & JaneAustenFanFic (a distinct subgenre).

These photos are from the High Line. It was an abandoned elevated train that serviced warehouses on Manhattan's Lower West Side; the tracks turned east to Penn Station at 33rd Street. They were converted into a park after I left the City and have become a major tourist attraction

My wife and I used to regularly go to a tavern in Tuckahoe--it's where Alex had brunch with her grandmother in a pivotal scene--for burgers and fries. A scotch for me. It turned Italian during Covid.

We finally went out again after years; found ourselves a new place in B'ville.

Upper West Side. There are a lot of dogs on the Upper West Side. And liquor stores.

I have some free promo codes for 'Becoming Catherine Bennet' and 'The Omen at Rosings Park.' The former is a 'Pride and Prejudice' sequel. The latter is a variation.

If you're interested in either one, drop me a line and I'll see what I can do. audible.com/pd/Becoming-Ca…

From Columbia University to Alumni:

On your mark... get set... go! 🏃The Stephanie and Fred Shuman Running Track around the Reservoir is freshly restored! This past winter the #CentralParkConservancy began repairing and resurfacing the 1.58 mile loop to fix and prevent deterioration from the elements and heavy use.

From the NYS DMV site (and the world has continued to rotate):

My wife saw Lauren Bacall at a deli just to the left of the start.

This is walking south on Columbus from 72nd St. Those eateries on the street are a Covid thing. Pretty typical for a spring day on the Upper West Side.

On my normal Sunday walk through Bronxville, I came upon a woman walking her dog, asked if she'd be interested in a book about a woman brought up in town. 'Sure,' says she. A coincidence, but I had a copy. Gave it to her. I hope she likes/tells friends. dermodyhouse.com/books/i-am-ale…
