Fox News review of ‘Fahrenheit 9/11′
Fox news reviewed Michael Moore's new film 'Fahrenheit 9/11' yesterday: "As much as some might try to marginalize this film as a screed against President George Bush, "F9/11" — as we saw last night — is a tribute to patriotism, to the American sense of duty — and at the same time a indictment of...
What can’t you find online?
I've been wanting to have some sort of Nebraska-themed BBQ/picnic with East Coast pals for a while. Thanks to the Internet, you can not only have Runza ship you their sandwiches but you can also (!!!) order Dorothy Lynch salad dressing (made in Columbus, NE), too. Excellent!

Adventures in New York City
Happiness is leaving work two hours early, catching the Fung Wah Bus from China Town to New York City, eating a fabulous meal with Josh and Jesse at Good World (mmm Swedish food -- spectacular Swedish meatballs and a perfect chocolate martini) and then wandering a bunch of blocks to The Living Room to see...
Good advice and a good move
When I was packing up everything for my move this weekend, I found this fortune on the floor. Usually fortune cookies are lame but this was a good one that was worth keeping. Happiness begins with facing life with a smile and a wink. Yesterday's move from Medford to Somerville went very well. Many thanks...
