I made a tasty sandwich in honor of my first sugar snap pea harvest! It’s kale, sprouts, red onion, snap peas, hummus and Dijon mustard on toasted sourdough. Yum!

The Hundredth Anniversary of Fenway Park
Fenway Park celebrates its hundredth anniversary this afternoon, with ceremonies and a game between the Red Sox and the Yankees, who inaugurated the ballpark, on April 20, 1912 (back when New York’s team was known as the Highlanders). To mark the occasion, we are unlocking, for today only, John Updike’s article about Ted Williams’s final Fenway game, “Hub Fans Bid Kid Adieu,” in which Updike coined the description of Boston’s ballpark as “a lyric little bandbox.”

I sent a draft for an invitation to an event, and I got this response:
Client: Please use different photos. The people from the event you used look fake. And no one seems to be having fun.
I used images that were taken at the client’s previous event.
They need to make a copy with a cover promoting legalization! LOL
there’ll be time to sleep when you’re dead.
