Happy New Year, dear readers! The future has arrived! In it, cars drive themselves, humans walk on Mars and Americans work just 26 hours a week.

OK, so not all of those predictions about where we’d be by 2020 were right.

But here’s one thing that did definitely happen: We spiced up our newsletter! We hope you enjoy our new format, featuring new daily stats, fun trivia and even more great stories.

Now, here’s your Wednesday at a glance:

Weather: High of 53 F, mostly sunny

What to eat: This homemade pimento cheese, risotto and bacon fried arancini at Northshore’s Basecamp Restaurant and Bar.

What to do: Host a listening party with these stand-out albums of 2019.

What we’re excited about: The new intermittent fasting fad – and that it requires you to buy nothing.
