Most days, I read my hometown newspaper to keep up on what’s happening. And this story caught my eye today, mostly because it got its own section (it’s not a “news brief”) and had two paragraphs. And, don’t fail to notice the fact that it appeared FOUR DAYS after it happened! Geez! Tuesday must’ve been …
New favorite kitchen gadget that I don’t have!
I saw the absolutely coolest kitchen gadget-I-don’t-have on an episode of a BBC show called “Kiss Me Kate” in the wee small hours Saturday night. It was a two-handed oven mitt with fabric between the two hand compartments. I really don’t know how to describe it … but suffice it to say, it was awesome. …

Hurrah for Porn!
Julie and I had a great time at Porn For Puritans tonight, and we’re trying to decide if we should go again with the boys. Regardless, if you’re at all interested in a one-act look at how men and women experience relationships, I highly recommend an outing. They’ve extended their run at the McKinney Avenue …
