Off to college

Tomorrow, we leave to take Cece (19 YOSD) off to college. She's going to a college in Northern Wisconsin, close to the Minnesota border, about 3 1/2 hours from here. She'll be studying Hotel/Restaurant Management. I know her mother, my wife, will be quite sad about all of this, about Cece leaving...

Mahalo's take on the best fictional cops

This "best of" page is pretty funny--it compiles a list of the best fictional cops. Right now the list is a little skewed towards white men, or robots. Where's Jackie Chan in "Police Story," or the guys from "Infernal Affairs" (the superior original film that "The Departed" was based on)? Anyway,...

Liz Phair at the Fillmore

I've been a Liz Phair fan for a few years now, not since the beginning, unfortunately. Although an ex did lend me "Exile" back in '99 and I listened to it a few times. I liked her, the ex and Liz.
