Fast Company catches up with the news that a drone has delivered the rings at a high tech wedding.
I guess Billy Collins has a thing for Emily Dickinson. He got my attention this morning with his reading of David Ray's At Emily's in Amherst. That immediately called to mind his own poem, Taking Off Emily Dickinson's Clothes, which I heard Garrison Keillor read on the program in 2001. Ray mentions "the white dress with pearl buttons;" Collins writes of

From an unsettling report in this morning New York Times that Steinway Hall has been sold in advance of the whole Steinway company.
First, Steinway & Sons closed on the sale of its Beaux-Arts Manhattan building on West 57th Street, where the likes of Sergei Rachmaninoff and Vladimir Horowitz once practiced.
It'a hard for me to forget the time I was visiting Steinway Hall and another visitor rushed in and asked the staff as he approached "Where's the Rachmaninoff piano?" Once that building is lost to Steinway, an incredible amount of history—and music—will be gone.
