Let us now praise a famous man

You knew an orgy was on its way, when this man died. Here’s one thing you can say about journalists: Surely no one loves us as much as we love ourselves. That’s one lesson of the Tim Russert coverage. A friend told me Sunday: “I now know more about Tim Russert than I do many members of my…

The big La Grange dog walk rolled past us a few weeks ago. This town loves their Pet Parade - people were out at 7:30 am setting up their chairs by the street so they could have a good view, but the parade didn’t start until 9:30. And sure, the parade is fun, but that’s a bit extreme to me.…
