Round and round and round….
I’ve been a big fan of roundabouts for years. It’s utterly clear to me that as annoying as it can be to approach one when you’re behind someone who doesn’t know what to do, roundabouts are still much easier to … Continue reading

Phil!
Last night we went to see Phil Rosenthal at Buffalo State University. If you’re unfamiliar with Phil Rosenthal, you need to watch Somebody Feed Phil on Netflix, and you need to do so now. Right now. Go watch, I’ll wait for … Continue reading

Jiggety-jig

Notes from North of the Border: A Travelogue (days two and three)

“I know what you’re thinking, and you’re right”: A MAGNUM geek visits Paradise
