Just part of the Boston experience. The latest snowfall on record since 1893 was May 10th, and a certain amount often falls in April.

It really depends on the situation. In general it’s a good idea not to expect any one person to meet all your emotional needs…but who they are to you matters a great deal in terms of which needs aren’t being met. Be kind to yourself first.

Some say the hand heart comes from Italian artist Maurizio Cattelan in a photo titled “Family Syntax” in 1989. Others say it comes from poppin’ dance moves from the 1970’s. Regardless, it became really popular as a gesture in around 2010, then became an emoji after that.

This is also an interesting theory.

When the cat is too big to fit in galoshes, set it down and cry… did I get it right?

If you are getting into jazz, I recommend you start with a few essential albums like Kind of Blue by Miles Davis, Love Supreme by John Coltrane, Time Out by Dave Brubeck, Moanin’ by Art Blakey, or Saxaphone Collosus by Sonny Rollins.
