Jack, Per Your Request…
I’m pretty decent at Photoshop. Enjoy your vision realized. I actually would’ve paid to see this movie, unlike the original.
Joke for Indie-Rock Geeks Only
Oh sure, as soon as Grant McLennan drops dead, Robert Forster has to totally sell out.
395, Revisited
We took the ‘back way’ to Lake Tahoe, the 395. (Yes, in California apparently it’s THE 395, but in NY or Jersey we take 78 or 87) I was worried, a storm was coming to Tahoe and we’d be coming in on the 50, from Nevada. I’d been watching the weather reports and although they […]

Famous isn’t even the right word; I’m not talking about Jodie Foster-style famous. I’m talking about having virtually no presence […]

Glaus is a career .238 hitter at cleanup, hitting .229 there last season. In the No. 5 spot, Glaus hits .259 (.353 last season) and slugs […]
Eliot Spitzer
The news about my boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss’s boss wasn’t as surprising as it should have been. The reason is a story about Eliot Spitzer taking his family skiing which appeared in our local paper last month – right around the time he was setting up his Washington, DC trip agenda. It was […]
Correction
Because of an editing error, a report in the Comings & Goings column on Feb. 24 about a chain of luxury communities for RVs misstated the number of American households that own an RV. It is about 8.3 million, not 8.3 – The New York Times
