neddyoRome + Florence + Venice absolutely doable in 5 days (at least by my standard of "doing"). Glad for this trip for many reasons. I also doubt I'll ever be back to Italy again.

neddyoMy son convinced me to do a day trip to Venice and without any semblance of a plan, I kind of stumbled into the Peggy Guggenheim Collection. It's possibly the fact that I've been looking at too many Renaissance paintings of baby Jesus for too many days, but it's quite possible that it's one of the best modern art collections I've ever enjoyed. All your favorite masters but no pieces you'd (or at least I) recognize because they're hidden in this quaint little spot in Venice. Love a good surprise!

theW1Z4RDWent to the brothers last night - I left wondering if I’d accidentally crashed bingo night at a retirement home. Not sure about you, but sitting with geriatrics yelling over the music like it’s happy hour at Shady Pines, listening to the same recycled setlist just isn’t for me. The magic’s faded. Sometimes it’s better to burn out than fade away in a haze of IPAs.

Captain Twinkie BucketSome SCOTUS decisions relied on an implied right to privacy—now under threat. With growing tech concerns (like AI tracking even opt-outs across the web), is a constitutional amendment for privacy on the table? Seems like it could be popular.
