It was nice enough here today that I feel kind of guilty for reading on the couch through the early afternoon and then just playing poker. Should have gone outside for the beginning of cards at least. Like 50F and bright and sunny.

I’m terrible at judging haircuts so don’t necessarily take this as the highest-quality endorsement imaginable beyond the very high safety levels, but fellow Brooklynites, it’s Clinton St. Barbers in Bklyn Hts.
