February rocks!
Now when you manage to get out of your parkas and your fingers thaw, go and check out my post on The Greenists today. [...]
What will be your look this season?
Thanks to all of you who sent me e-mails and to those of you who recognized my need for quiet.

Somehow, probably through some of my science posts, I’ve attracted some militant animal [...]
Before you start you’re already beat…
This post is Part 2 of a story I started yesterday. I can’t tell you what to do, but you’d be advised to read the first part first.

This I Believe
Annie Savoy: What do you believe in, then?
Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman’s back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to [...]

Berries and the nomadic lifestyle
” I’ve been a long time that I’m waiting
Been a long that I’m blown

Through the people I have known
Oh, if you would and you could
