I. In 1978, my daily commute on the D trainfrom the not-quite-South Bronx of 170th Streetto the not-yet-Upper West Side of 96th, found me surrounded by men andwomen in suits with blue collars. I woke up 90 minutes earlierthan my friends and would oftenfall asleep on a stranger’s shoulder,startle awake, embarrassedbut unmolested. Contrary to popular

QotD: World Series 2007

What are your predictions for the World Series? While I’d like to see the Colorado Rockies over the Boston Red Sox in 5, so they can win it at home, I think it will likely go 6 or 7, but the upstart Rocks will ultimately pull out the victory.  Scheduling nonsense aside — 8:23 pm games in

QotD: The Song Remains The Same

Led Zeppelin will finally offer their music online starting next month.   Of the music you buy, about how much of it do you download and how much do you buy on physical formats (CDs, vinyl, etc.)? Any artist not making their music available online in some method — unless they’re involved in some label dispute

Sometimes, absence makes the heart go wander…

[x-posted from PopCultureShock] What happens when the “maybe we just need a little space” trial separation makes you realize you’re actually happier apart and have no interest in getting back together?

Busy Weekend Update in Pictures

India Gets a New Care Bear We trekked up to Lawrence Farms Orchards again on Saturday to have an apple-picking/pumpkin-picking/picnic party for India’s 5th birthday and the unseasonably warm October weather was absolutely perfect for it! (More pictures @ Flickr.) India, who doesn’t like birthday parties at all, handled things pretty well, though she had

Contemplating the Collapse

On Locked Entries

I’ve never been a fan of posting locked entries behind a “Friends and Family” filter, but I’ve found myself doing it a few times recently and wanted to give the handful of you who I know read but don’t have a Vox account (or read through LiveJournal cross-posts) a heads-up that I’ve been posting a little
