The TWA Terminal was a real blast to hang out at on a long JFK layover. Highly recommended.
Having a blast on our layover at the beautifully restored TWA Terminal at JFK with our friend Dawn (who lives in Brooklyn and came out to meet us).
Traditional pre-trip selfie.
Even though Beatrix is going to Sarah Lawrence, she’s not yet had the time to decline offers and withdraw applications. All of this is to say…
Union sent her an acceptance this morning. Nice highly personalized acceptance letter too.
It’s nice to be wanted at least.
Already physically and emotionally exhausted from this day and i’t far from over.
A morning full of feels.
How Neighboring Works Here in 2026
A neighbor noticed two unmarked but federal looking vehicles in the neighborhood parked near the elementary school. Another neighbor approached the vehicles to inquire. Found out they were FBI, not ICE. A different neighbor verified the plates against a independently constructed database of known ICE/DHS/FBI vehicles. Confirmed that both were present at known ICE activity and spotted in and out of Whipple (ICE Headquarters) but could have been FBI in assist mode.
“Meanwhile, he’s out there making movies about ping-pong and I’m like, who f*cking cares about ping-pong biyatch!”
(clears throat)
“I meant, ‘Hey, ping-pong’s not my thing but it is something other people enjoy and that alone is worth my respect.'”
“There, I fixed it for him.”

Even though Beatrix has decided on Sarah Lawrence she has not had the time yet to withdraw her applications to other schools still yet to send out decisions so it was a bit funny to receive yet another acceptance (Connecticut College) this morning.
Intentionally not updating the iSuite applications on my Mac because the new liquored glass iCons are so bad.
