    Well, that was completely overwhelming. Thank you so much to and for kicking off XOXO 2018, our incredible staff and volunteers for their incredibly hard work, and everyone I met tonight for being so into it all. Time to sleep. 😴

    My entire life: “Like Scott Baio?” No, not like Scott Baio. Nothing like Scott Baio.

    What’s the worst thing about your name? I always get people asking me if I’m ok. If I’m ok. If I’m ok.

    Phew, Eliot had a good day. Freshmen are allowed to leave campus, so he went to lunch with friends. In class, they asked for everyone's pronouns! It's a new world out there, people!

    Just dropped off Eliot for his first day of high school, after five years of home-schooling. What an exciting day.

    Somehow, one woman almost singlehandedly kept defunct technology alive from the disco era to the dawn of the web. If you're in Pittsburgh or have access to local newspaper archives, I'd love to learn more about Helen Reutzel and Telephone Music Service!

    The last reference I can find is this International Herald Tribune article from 1996, down to a single Pittsburgh jukebox at the now-defunct Brandy's — and a new owner, Dottie White.

    A year later, in 1988, an AP writer visited Helen's operation, down to five jukeboxes and volunteers helping out on the weekends.

    After her father died in 1976, the business was taken over by Purse's daughter, Helen Reutzel. By 1987, she was down to only eight clients, but kept the "jukebox with a heart" running with over 100,000 song selections from 2pm-2:30am daily.

    The last of these services in the world was the Telephone Music Service in Pittsburgh. It operated continuously since its founding by William Purse in 1929, at its peak serving 120 restaurants and bars in the Pittsburgh area.
