The news in Jenville (Jenland? Jenistan? Jenoslovakia?)

• There are two new reviews on the Sarcastic Sex Toy Blog. Dirty, dirty, wry, and dirty.
  
  
• I took the Metro North to and from work (I was teaching an SAT class near Grand Central), and both times no one checked tickets, so I still have an unpunched $8.50 round trip ticket from Harlem to Grand Central. I can't imagine when I would ever need to use this.
  
  When I left for work, there was word of an end to the strike; when I arrived back in East Harlem, I saw people walking in and out of the subway, and it was like the hopeful end to some kind of post-apocalyptic science fiction film, like when everyone escapes from the bubble in Logan's Run.
  
  
• This is tenuous and could fall through, but I have been selected to be an egg donor again! Mom and Dad gave me good genes. We should get a family crest bearing the Latin version of "No alcoholics, suicides, or birth defects!" If it weren't terribly offensive, I could start an egg donation blog called (wait for it...) "Eujenics."
