You may have noticed…

The New Neo Posted on June 13, 2014 by neoJune 13, 2014

…that for the last couple of days I haven’t put up any of those lighter posts I often write. I have been so tremendously upset by what has been happening during the trifecta of doom—the Bergdahl exchange, the border children, … Continue reading →

Lactose and me

The New Neo Posted on May 17, 2014 by neoMay 17, 2014

People often claim they’re lactose intolerant. But few people know for sure because few people have been tested for it. I am one of those lucky, lucky few. For some reason (sadism?), a doctor subjected me to the test many … Continue reading →

Another oldie but goodie

The New Neo Posted on May 9, 2014 by neoMay 9, 2014

Lesley Stahl interviews her mother. How old do you think her mother is?: She’s 95. Astounding. What a lovely woman! My mother, born a few years earlier than Ruthy Stahl, also called the refrigerator the icebox. And I, quite a … Continue reading →

The boy she loves is a Romeo

The New Neo Posted on May 7, 2014 by neoMay 7, 2014

Want a break from politics? Let’s take a look at that 1965 song “Back in My Arms Again,” one of my favorites by the Supremes. Note how subtle and classy the sexuality of their performance is compared to today’s pop … Continue reading →

You had me at hello

The New Neo Posted on May 6, 2014 by neoMay 6, 2014

I remember reading decades ago about how quickly we judge people when we first meet them. Yes or no, stay or move on? This 1986 book said the judgments all happen within four minutes, but my impression is that it’s … Continue reading →

Why dance films and videos don’t really work all that well

The New Neo Posted on May 3, 2014 by neoMay 3, 2014

Whenever I write about dance, I’m handicapped by the fact that all I can offer is a video and some words, and perhaps a few still photos. That’s better than nothing. But it doesn’t even begin to compare with seeing … Continue reading →

New math

The New Neo Posted on April 30, 2014 by neoApril 30, 2014

Ace writes about Common Core math pedagogy: Common Core needlessly complicates the simple. They complicate the simple, supposedly, to impart “number sense” to kids, to get them to understand not just that 9 +3 = 12, but why 9 + … Continue reading →

The war on e-cigarettes…

The New Neo Posted on April 26, 2014 by neoApril 26, 2014

…reminds me of the war on little schoolkids making gun gestures with their hands. Instead of worrying about the thing itself, people are worrying about a simulacrum of the thing. Why would people who are against smoking because of its … Continue reading →

Are you hangry?

The New Neo Posted on April 21, 2014 by neoApril 21, 2014

Nothing much happens to me when I get hungry except that I get hungry. But some people are different: they get angry and pick fights. Indeed. I know that quite well because I’ve been closely and even at times intimately … Continue reading →

The perfect jelly bean

The New Neo Posted on April 20, 2014 by neoApril 3, 2023

There is only one jelly bean worth eating at Easter or any other time of year. No, not those weirdly flavored “gourmet” Jelly Bellys (I consider the term “gourmet jelly bean” to be an oxymoron). The traditionalist in me abhors … Continue reading →

Airline food: it’s the altitude, stupid

The New Neo Posted on April 18, 2014 by neoApril 18, 2014

So now they’re saying that airline meals taste as bad as they do because at high altitudes people’s tastebuds go numb: No matter what it is””fish, chicken, even pasta””every meal served in the air seems to taste undeniably worse than … Continue reading →

This is…

The New Neo Posted on April 12, 2014 by neoApril 12, 2014

…the story of my life. And I don’t even have an accent, so what’s my excuse? I’ve noticed that, in general, voice recognition systems don’t like me. Back when my arm injuries were very bad, I tried to use Dragon … Continue reading →
