A new Girl Scout cookie debuted this week, and it’s one I can definitely get excited about! It’s described as “rocky road inspired” with flavors of chocolate, marshmallow, and almond creme. The almond flavor is very subtle, the cookie is tender, and the chocolate is very rich.

I would like a dress as full and beautiful as a pomegranate blossom.

Fun discovering #Invader artworks in #Avignon.

Point zero, outside of Notre Dame in Paris. The “center of Paris” from which all things were measured.

It’s been a while since I’ve gifted an article. To me, the Epstein case is not much more than a sensationalist story. After reading this, I realize it’s further evidence of a broken justice system. www.theatlantic.com/podcasts/arc...

Science can be fun! Just finished my sniff test for Parkinson’s research. 4 booklets of scratch-n-sniff smells identified to the best of my ability. Thanks, University of Pennsylvania.

For all the capitalists out there, if the market decides this plant should close, what’s it called when Trump orders it to stay open? penncapital-star.com/energy-envir...

Got out to see a play for the first time in ages today. “The Colored Museum” by George C Wolfe. Very thought provoking and engaging.
