True Romance
My first awareness of Elizabeth Taylor was in the 80′s. She had perfumes. She was friends with Michael Jackson. She had been married a lot. Sometimes she was on talk shows. She had that over-tucked, over-dyed, plastic look that makes older celebrities look really scary. I didn’t really know who she was beyond that. It wasn’t [...]

Lady Luck

Unfortunately, our varied professions and scattered personal lives make it difficult to get together (as a group) on a regular basis. In fact, I think we talk about it more over emails, [...]
From Birth to Age Ten in 85 Seconds
One of the things I love about the internet is the weirdness of it. It offers so many peeks into the odd behavior of other human beings, which can often be cringe-inducing, but when it isn’t, can just be fascinating to look at.
