Okay, enough Fair. I’m sick of it now too. And I have two more days to go.
If you missed it last night, and you probably did: check the Twitter feed for a live account of the search for the Mysterious Hammerer. This sound has bedeviled me for weeks; finally went out looking for the [...]
Coming back from piano on Friday: Child is singing some “Ninja Song.” It’s all about how you can’t see me, because I am a ninja. I say no. That is not the Ninja song.
“So what is the Ninja song.”
“Wait.” I hold up a finger for silence. We drive a few blocks. “There. That [...]
New Diner! Link here, if you’re impatient.
So big important media dude that I am, I’m teeing up a podcast with Harry Shearer. Aaaand of course in the back of my mind is the realization that he’s on the show because he’s a pal of the podcast co-host, and I could be a [...]
In response to many pleas: I can’t find the solution to the Out of Context mystery. It’s around here somewhere. This is a huge admission of failure on the part of my vaunted filing system. It tasks me, and I shall have it. But not today.

A wall to wall day, Thursday. Read headlines, wrote a piece, finished a column, did an interview with two reporters who just got back from Haiti, then – as I was gearing up to fine-tune the column and put it in The System, NEWS HAPPENED. I heard some chatter at the desk called Patina; I [...]
Daughter wants to start a newspaper. I advised her to come with an online site.
“But how will I charge money? If it’s a newspaper I can charge people money to get a copy.”
Honestly, we had this conversation. She wants to start a newsletter for her classmates about their shared interests, like Warrior Cats [...]
Oh MAN, the fun I’ve had with the Ellie Light story. For the record, I don’t care if the White House has someone astroturfing letters to the editor, because it’s about as effective as using semaphore lamps at high noon on a cloudless day at a convention of the blind, and there are more important [...]
