Yoga during lockdown
In November 2019, I took my first yoga class and had just a few months with a live teacher before moving online because of Covid. There are ways that I’m getting stronger, but without someone guiding me in person, I’m stuck at poses 2 and 4. Any tips from yoga aficionados are greatly appreciated.

Mid-century dining
Growing up in NYC, Horn and Hardart was a landmark eating establishment that filled me with endless fascination. It was a fine-dining vending machine, with mini-casseroles and fresh-baked pies. As a kid, I couldn’t figure out how the food would keep magically reappearing in the slots.
