I sought solace yesterday at the @NYBG, where the annual chrystanthemum show is up for a couple of weeks. Although it is much smaller and located in a far-off greenhouse, the show has some beautiful displays. Here's one of my favorite images from the show.

I spent years working with constitutional experts on the language of Prop 1. If the far-fetched stories of the anti-Prop 1 crowd sound like crazy conspiracy theories, it’s because they are. VOTE YES on #Prop1 to protect abortion & the rights of all NYers. amny.com/opinion/why-ne…
