Our dear friends and traitors former writers/co-founders Greg and Elijah recently celebrated the 2-year anniversary of their blog, Lost in the Cloud. Sharp readers will see the correlation between them leaving and the precipitous decline in CAI’s monthly posts – oh well. I would be remiss if I didn’t celebrate them – even though [...]

I recently sold a dresser to a guy through Craigslist, and upon delivering it realized that my buyer was Ron Heathman from The Super Suckers. I’m no Super Suckers fan, but I know enough about them to appreciate how cool it was to be standing in this guy’s apartment, talking about music, furniture, coffee and [...]

Wheel of Skill (or Fortune)- Reflections on a foray into American Pop Culture
Posted in Miscellany, tagged Pat Sajak, Wheel of Fortune on April 20, 2010 | 5 Comments »
I ended up appearing on the Wheel of Fortune pretty much by fluke: one night, while agonizing over our finances, I told Jana that I wanted to get on a game show. I didn’t really care which one; I just wanted to make some money. And so I searched online looking for applications and casting [...]
