The immigration agent bent over her papers to scrawl something in the block of white space across the bottom of the last page of neat legal type. As the automated Tube voice announced King's Cross as the nex...

What you and I would discuss, dear reader, if we spent a day driving around town together. Thursday, July 16, 2009. Just Because You Can. Name the last time you used the word “alacrity” in conversation, dear reader. How about “supercilious”? What about “staycation”? This makes me doubt the staying power of “staycation.”. No I prefer to see this doctoring of our words as short-sighted. Call it “Frankencabulary.”. Sunday, July 12, 2009. Remember family vacations of your youth? Husband and I, my sister and ...

I love to enter an A. That is all I want to do- I want to go down the line on the SCORE sheet clicking A, A, A. It's the easiest grade to enter- the top one on the drop down menu, followed by all the other letters and then a long line of hellish looking symbols (what the heck is a % for? Cool Science and Art.

Quit Acting Smart: Thoughts on the Fallout from WHM, and the Video Clips I Shared. As an adult, and years after his death, I remember thinking this was an odd phrase even as a six-year-old.
