Adirondacks and writing and editing and skiing and hiking and crosswords and stuff. Ask me about getting a colonoscopy.

I love living in the Adirondacks but i regret that our economy will never be robust enough to support a bookstore bar

I remember a standup routine from years ago where the comic said everybody’s license plate should be their cell phone #, so you could call and yell at them

I read a story yesterday that hypothesized an AI designed to optimize production at a paper-clip factory may decide it‘s best to turn all matter, including people, into paper clips. That was not a convincing explanation

Was there a FOIL request? I missed that part. Yes, messages should be preserved and accessible per the law, I do care about that.

Looks like Harvard lists her on a faculty page. That makes her a Harvard instructor, for better or for worse.

I was in a NYC hotel and pulled this off the bookshelf in the room. I felt bad for taking it with me to finish but they paid only a buck for it at The Strand. Really good!

i think the craziest factory I toured was one that made pre-fab hotel rooms. Concrete got poured into a mold and then the whole thing got flipped over to cure. All the wiring and plumbing was done in the factory and then the rooms were shipped to site.

I loved watching the presses roll. Always reminded me that we worked someplace that made something, every day.

“Dozens” is, at a minimum, two dozen. “Dozens and dozens” is…4 dozen? I do not believe they made 48 unanswered requests

I know this is a cross-species comparison, but I watched our dog excrete a jet of blood from his rear last year and I absolutely freaked out. Rushed him to the vet and I was prepared for the worst. The vet acted like he saw it every day. Prescribed antibiotics, and that was that. Good luck.

I'm visiting the city this week and a friend suggested lunch here and I thought "why does this place sound familiar?" and then I remembered your piece and I had the Vegetalian, and OMFG

To the Senegalese guard at the Whitney in NYC who was positively levitating after they went up 2-0 and kept saying "This is such a surprise!" - I'm so sorry, man

I find this slightly more like a documentary than a skit after getting over colon cancer and having 8 colonoscopies and counting LOL
