Lasagnagate!
Only in New York kiddies! Candidate for state governor Andrew Cuomo has hit a political land mine… over lasagna! Here’s the skinny: Cuomo is of Italian decent, but his steady girl is TV food enemy Sandra Lee. So someone asked Momma Cuomo what she thought about Lee’s lasagna recipe that’s made from cottage cheese and [...]
R.I.P. US Autos
Some of my fondest childhood memories concern my fixation with car design. The 1960s (and to a lesser extent the 1970s) were a heyday of US auto design. MoTown was king, and despite the near sighted urban planning and erroneous environmental policies, they did put out some good designs that became classics. With Ford’s recent [...]
Coffee: The Black Devil
Step back: I may projectile vomit on you. I’ve been feeling queezy every morning lately — and no, I am not pregnant. I think it’s the coffee. You see, coffee and I have had a checkered past. I hated the very taste of coffee well into college, where I grudgingly was forced to drink it [...]

Bethenny Getting Scary?
It annoys me when people say “I hate Reality TV!” like every show in the entire genre is exactly the same. But I would have to admit, among the different sub-genre’s, one of my least favorites is the ’2 D-list celebrities expose their marriage trials and tribulations’ format. So it was with some trepidation that [...]

Vocal Adrenaline psyches out New Directions in their own territory, and the Gleeks from McKinley High suddenly find themselves in a FUNK, unsure of what to do to get their groove back. Since it was Sue who condoned the invasion, Will sets out to woo her in a risky attempt to bring back the FUNK [...]

Remembrances of Summers Past
Back when I was little, and dinosaurs roamed the earth, my parents moved their young family into a mid-century modern Cape Cod. Like most post-war neighborhoods, ours was a grid of streets superimposed over former rolling farmland. This being New England, the lots were terraced with vernacular stone walls. Next door lived an older couple, [...]
