The wife and I went apeshit over the Thanksgiving because of the leaves that fell into our yard. During the summer, our trees are a glorious thing. They keep the yard and deck 15 degrees cooler and make gatherings a lot better during those paltry DC summers. But damn, when the fall weather arrives, the […]
My recent column reviewing Assassin’s Creed: Revelations and The Lord of the Rings: War in the North. Thanks to the Honolulu Star Advertiser for publishing, which I have not seen them pub my column in a while, so it’s nice to have them back in the fold. […]
Because it’s Thanksgiving, we have to celebrate the holiday the proper way: with a clip from my wife and I’s favorite show that is just for us, Mad About You. The show is dated, goofy, couple-y and all that gushy stuff, but we love it and the wife watches it on DVD anytime there is […]

We met in Richmond, VA for a two-week copy editing seminar that was part of my summer internship back during my junior year of college.

It’s 11.11.11, so of course we must pay tribute to the man who brought us the true meaning of the number 11, Nigel Tufnel. Sadly the fools on the inter webs have all disabled the embedding on the videos so you’ll have to follow this link to watch, but trust me it’s worth it. Sustain. […]
It tooks weeks longer than I had hoped, but I finally conquered this mammoth, deep dive into the rise and fall of Prohibition. Being an avid drinker, this book is right up my alley and the 14 years of Prohibition (and the years before and after it) are filled with more interesting stories than I […]
