Game On: Week of June 4
Here is my column from two weeks ago. I reviewed ModNation Racers and Blur. Thanks to NorthJersey.com for continuing to run the column. […]
It Ain’t Wonderbread
It never fails that when we have big family reunions up in New Jersey, someone will say something that gets the whole place rolling in laughter and it becomes a pseudo-theme for the weekend. What was shocking about this particular trip was that the random comment where laughter ensued came from my grandmother. The reunion […]
Trailer Love
I don’t remember when I first watched the Winnebago Man clip at the bottom, but it was a long time ago. But I do remember that it reminded me why I left Kentucky (with its copious amounts of RV ads for RV dealers in southern Indiana) and also that this guy may be one of […]
‘Oh Shit’

Now, when I was a kid, my grandmother once chided me quite harshly in public because I was one of those kids who thought escalators were fun and should be played on all the time when parents are shopping for useless crap. I’ve […]
What I’ve Read: The Foie Gras Wars
Keeping up with my tradition of reading nonfiction books about strange, singular food topics, my mother gave me The Foie Gras Wars as a gift, and so of course I had to read it. It’s probably the most open and least aggressive food book I have read in terms of trying to drive a message […]
