Pardon the snarky caption: that’s me talking, not Professor Will Snyder; I’m sure he knows what the Blackboard means. I could write a book about this article and maybe I should. For now, here’s the LAT article and you can read it yourself. I will simply say that the liberal arts ARE alive and well […]

You can still see the exhaust fumes at FATHOM. We were so on the right track. Take another bow, fellow Fathomites!

Here’s where Twitter writing is useful training. As I edited this, knowing it would feed Twitter, I reduced and reduced….like, I don’t need a headline that alerts “Anyone who missed Chopped!” And who needs both PT and ET? Can’t you add/subtract? And who needs PM when you can say P? Now I did draw the […]

Really, it happened. Ok, so it didn’t. But this spoof made me laugh and then made me even more nervous for my daughter’s debut on Food Network tomorrow. That’s tomorrow, Aug 2, at 10p. Watch, cheer, pray! Go, Chef Elisabeth!

It’s Cochise County all the time lately! I hope I can do my part and finish this darned book. Check out today’s VARIETY: Harrison Ford is attached to portray Wyatt Earp in a feature adaptation of “Black Hats: A Novel of Wyatt Earp and Al Capone.” Project’s produced by Thunder Road topper Basil Iwanyk and […]

Peter Weinberg’s first published article….why not start with an op-ed in The New York Times?

I think I’d be laughing my head off even if it hadn’t been written by my son. Check it Peter’s article about moving home after college. Funny that with all my affection for e-reading, we all got an extra jolt of delight that it was published in the REAL PRINT NYT, Review page 7, right […]
