Look, I know it’s hard to run a small weekly paper like The Independent, a newspaper for Long Island, NY’s East End. Even if you potentially have rich readers in the Hamptons to help out, you’re still going to run on a shoestring budget.
Still, do you think you might pay your writers more so your […]
I’m a few days behind the power curve here, but when a good friend showed me the link to 3 hours of 1983-era MTV, I knew I had to share it with all of you.
Part the first:
Part the second:
I’m rather retro-nostalgic for this: while I recognize the music, I never really saw MTV […]
It is playgroup day and playgroup day is normally a good day but ever since that little red-haired girl started coming she always wants your toys.
She shouldn’t get your toys.

He has medicine now. He nearly gagged while taking it tonight. “Are you okay?” we asked. He […]
And I said, “What about ‘Breakfast at Tiffany’s’?”
She said, “I think I remember the film,
And as I recall, I think we both kinda liked it.”
And I said, “Well, that’s the one thing we’ve got.”
–Deep Blue Something, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”

I’d […]
Sam Granade was the tallest man I knew.

When I was young, he wasn’t my favorite of […]
