Sorry in advance to my sister, whose Mother’s Day card is arriving a little late (and by “a little,” I mean I dropped it in the mailbox this morning). Guess I have a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that she’s somebody’s mom.

One thing I did set a reminder for: Guggenheim Fellow, TIME100 Honoree, artist, filmmaker and bestselling author Tourmaline is coming to town May 28th and we’ve got a pair of tickets up for grabs. Enter to win.*

BOSTON’S LOCAL BIKE SHOPS

There are two kinds of people in Boston: those sitting in traffic, and those flying past them from the bike lane. With warmer weather officially here (or at least on the horizon), it’s the perfect time to get out there on two wheels. Whether you need a tune-up or a completely new ride, here are some local cycling shops worth checking out for National Bike Month.

IN THE FUTURE

LOCALS ONLY

• Big news for E Line riders: Symphony Hall Station is closing for a major accessibility overhaul, starting June 6th and reopening in summer 2029.

• A local tech company created a rolling robot assistant that follows you around and carries your stuff. It keeps a polite distance behind you and, in true Masshole fashion, starts chirping if you’re not walking fast enough.
