Cameras ON!
It was a fun Civic exercise to remotely watch the January 23rd meeting of the Ridgewood Board of Education (BOE) on YouTube and follow along with the minutes they posted on their website. Even better was being able to rewind and fast forward, plus show up mid way through the presentation and not disturb anyone. I missed out on the chance to ask a question but like there being the option for future meetings.
Not to be outdone, the Ridgewood Village Council has also brought back “Hybrid Meetings” and Council Woman Siobhan Crann Winograd has resumed her series of short videos (See Below).
We can complain all we want about how the Internet, Social Media, & excessive cell phone use are overwhelming society. The efforts of the BOE and the Village Council are overwhelming proof that the Microchip Revolution which created the Internet, Social Media & ubiquitous cellphones is not all bad.
I am encouraging Mayor Paul Vagianos to start his own weekly Substack newsletter. What a grand bully pulpit for getting ideas & initiatives communicated to the voters!

A few tourists get the 3rd degree when they decide to order their steak well done.

Mighty Are We As One
M + A is a destination devoted to art, artists, artisans and design. We are inspired by art as it relates to design: the soul, the spark that ignites beautiful ideas. We are equally as motivated by craft traditions passed down from generations.

Rock Hound
Been drilling a lot of rocks lately. I’ve picked out several dozen of the best rocks from this past season to use for pendants. As I was working with this particular rock, it kept remining me of some image I had seen before, but I couldn’t quite place it. Then I remembered. I had seen the image in an art museum. It was during Jenni’s and my trip to NYC, when we went to visit the Museum of Modern Art, and we saw Marc Chagall’s “I and the Village.” Life imitates art. Art imitates rocks.

You’re Saying It Wrong
Ross & Kathy’s podcast: You're Saying It Wrong is a podcast that looks at what we get wrong—and what we sometimes get right—when it comes to this English language.
