I mentioned the other day that I was going to write more on the Christie-Rubio exchange during the last debate, the one that has everyone abuzz. I’ve been working on an article that I might ship out (if it doesn’t … Continue reading →
I watched about one-third of this evening’s debate. After that I turned it on intermittently, but what I saw convinced me to finally call it quits, and to eat my (very late) dinner in blessed silence. Maybe this really wasn’t … Continue reading →
Ah, here we go again. And on a Saturday night, too! Here’s what Carly has to say: “You’ll just have to find out, won’t you?” If any of Carly’s advisers are listening, I have an idea: I think they should … Continue reading →
A while back I wrote a tribute to a ballet teacher of mine, Stanley Holden. A little recap is in order: One doesn’t ordinarily think of comedy in connection with ballet dancers, but Holden was a master of it, best … Continue reading →
