• In case you missed it, DEMOCRACY HAS PREVAILED. (Though ya gotta admit it was dicey there for awhile.) President Joe Biden love typing that and the first Black/South Asian/Woman Vice President Kamala Harris love typing that, too were sworn in today in a stirring ceremony that made me cry, like, 3.5 times. It s been a hard four years, folks.

AUSTIN, Texas, Jan. 19, 2021 /PRNewswire/ Pennybacker Capital Management, LLC (Pennybacker), a leading real estate private equity firm, today announced it has partnered with M2G Ventures, a Fort Worth-based real estate investment and development company, to purchase more than 1.2 million square feet of industrial and office space from Dallas retailer Tuesday Morning.
The acquisition includes five of Tuesday Morning s industrial distribution centers located along Inwood Road in Addison and Farmers Branch, totaling 1.1 million square feet, and its 105,000-square-foot corporate headquarters office at 6250 Lyndon B. Johnson Freeway in Dallas.
As part of the agreement, Tuesday Morning will lease back the industrial properties for two-and-a-half years and the corporate headquarters building for 10 years. M2G Ventures will assist with operating the portfolio.
I’m told that March lasted 31 days this year, just like it did last year. Each of those days supposedly had 24 hours, like every other day this year, and those hours each held the same number of minutes. The seconds allegedly ticked by, methodically, one by one.
The calendar for 2020 is made up of uniform blocks, but that’s not what my mental map of the year looks like. In my head, the year looks like the calendar version of a homunculus a distorted version of the human body, where each part is sized based on how much of the brain is devoted to controlling it. The hands on a homunculus are enormous, and the elbow is disproportionately miniature. In my mental map of the year, the summer is compressed and small; the week of the election balloons off the page; and March swells to crowd out February, April, and May.
