LPT If you're married and have children, take PTO and go on a lunch date.

My wife and I have three young children. It's impossible to get away in the evening for a proper date without grandparent's texting saying my children are out of control, or the babysitter texting saying the kids want to talk to mom.

My wife's schedule and mine have aligned the last couple of weeks where we've gone out to lunch just the two of us. It's an amazing break in the workday, and my kids have no idea we're gone. 10/10 highly recommend.

TIL of Vanessa Lawrence, a woman who was on the 91st floor of the World Trade Center (North Tower) as Flight 11 crashed into it, and survived with only a cut on her foot





TIL that Paul McCartney, Phil Collins and Michael Jackson are the only musicians who have sold over 100 million records both as solo artists and as members of a band
