My favorite newspaper the WSJ, which of course tilts to the right, presented a quick summary of what is actually in the recently passed health care bill. Below are some of the points the article makes, for those of us whose eyes glaze over these kinds of details I think […]
Jenny McCarthy is a well-known celebrity who once posed for Playboy and is married to mega-rich actor Jim Carrey. While most of the public knows her for her looks, she has a cause that some believe is very dangerous to the rest of the public. She’s among a growing movement […]
Everyone showed up; the whole gang of Friday regulars were on the scene in ‘Hamp last night, gathered at the very hip Mama Iguana’s to share end of the workday tales and catch up on news. But Joe told us he had to leave at 6:20. Why? Because he was […]
When I stepped into our two-connected-rooms-with-a-living-room-in-between here at the Kimberly Hotel, I thought, why, we’re mere travel editors…are we worthy of these luxe New York City digs?

It’s not a major birthday year but hey, it does only come around once. Today I’m fifty-one. Wow, it was just last year that we had the major party that every red-blooded American man deserves….but this year no big plans, just a bunch of computer geeks who are coming to […]
