  • Merry Holiday and Happy Christmas.

    I think I might be the only person in the United States working today. (I mean, besides the MTA employees.) The subways are empty. The streets are as well. And I just saw a tumbleweed move by my desk. But it was wearing tinsel. I have to say, now that the strike is over, I…
