Big Bad Movie Day I don’t know what’s wrong with me. This winter, my usually aseptic immune system, has fallen on hard times. Only one month into this whole winter thing and I am battling something like my fifth cold already. Aachoo!! This is very puzzling to me as my home office has but one …
Turn the Page I rounded out my expanding ‘New Civilized’ program last night with a high-class tweed jacket event at the Ordway.

The Worldhood of the World as Such Heavily distracted this morning by world events. Television news channels only covering weird Michael Jackson/Lacy Peterson stories. God Bless this internet thing.
