My least favorite holiday is here.
Yes, Halloween. If you recall, I don’t do scary. Not the movies, not the masks, not the fake blood, not the faces covered in makeup. I’m on high alert until it passes.
Luckily the week has an upside. Daughter #2 is flying in, late Thursday. I’ll be up.
TODAY’S PICKS
THE FEATURE
The Grandmother Hypothesis.
Only a handful of mammals live decades past menopause. Science has a theory about why women do, and the best evidence isn’t human.
THE REFLECTION
The Two-Hour Visitor.
Leaving early doesn’t mean she loves them less. It took her about 50 years to stop apologizing for it.
Tell Me Everything.
Well, not everything. Just what you want to read more of.
It will take you 30 seconds.
THE WILDCARD
Which Night Is The Starry Night?
The most famous night sky in art was a real one. Researchers think they finally know which night it was, and it may not be the season you’d guess.
My answer:
First one out. It takes a really good party to beat a really good night’s sleep.
