  • National Geographic Kids magazine has a mission – to prep a child to spend, spend, spend

    H.o.p. was reading his “National Geographic Kids” magazine the other night and yesterday got up and asked me about a cute rabbit he’d seen in it, which he believed was like the Microsoft Agent, Peedy the Parrot, only this creature would text-to-speech “email and blogs!!” which he thought was great. “Can I get it?” H.o.p.…

  • I went to Dartmouth and all I got was a lousy nuclear holocaust

    I went to Dartmouth and all I got was a lousy nuclear holocaust

    Someone commenting on the 1951 movie “Five” over at IMDB gives it as a “superb, gripping movie you’ll never forget.” That someone wasn’t me. As a matter of fact, it’s not very often that I’ll say of an old sci-fi/horror film that I’ve chosen to write about, “Don’t waste your time!” It’s even more unlikely…

  • 500 Songs for Kids Benefit

Nice guy and is out there working hard…

  • Go, There's Nothing to Read

  • Big Ol' Walrus of Reckoning

    Big ol’ walrus of reckoning (didn’t know there was such a thing didja) slapped me down last Friday. Thwap. Sat on me hard. And it hurt. Lots of pain. And it was hot. Feverishly hot. Maybe it swallowed me, I don’t know. But Marty insists it wasn’t a whale of a reckoning. On Saturday, I…
