1. Garbage collection resumes tomorrow, so if Monday is your usual pick-up day, you can cook fish for dinner tonight without suffering the olfactory consequences for long.

2. The Parks Department is teaching —get this— . Let's credit them with a great sense of irony, in teaching wilderness skills in the outskirts of New York City. This event should be truly interesting. We hope to see you there!

3.Bayside Patch has the lovely and talented Yael Morowati, a celestially attuned, somewhat clairvoyant advice columnist at your disposal. Email Lori.Gross@patch.com with gnawing questions about your love life, family or work problems. Include in the email your sign, please. We promise to keep your identity a sacred secret. 

4. The World Ice Arena in Flushing Meadows Corona Park, is offering free 15 minute . If your local editor was more coordinated, she might dig out the old blades and take a skate.
