My summer reading list
Following in the footsteps of President Obama, I’ve decided to release my own summer reading list. Or at least, the cream of the crop; I won’t bore you with the whole roster. “The Given Day,” Dennis Lehane: I was kind … Continue reading →
The L-word
We’ve all grossly mangled song lyrics, right? Of course we have. My friend Patrick spent years believing ELO’s “Evil Woman” was actually called “He Is A Woman,”while my mother-in-law went the other way, translating Aerosmith’s “Dude (Looks Like A Lady)” … Continue reading →
