Nixzmary Brown.
(Forgive me, I’m about to sound preachy. But this story has been eating away at me.) By now, almost the entire nation has heard the story of Nixzmary Brown and the tragic way she died. If you haven’t heard about this case, you can read more about it here. Basically, a 7-year-old girl was discovered…

A Written Post About Absolutely Nothing But Losely Related to Reading.
Part One: Into the Subway. Yesterday, while riding the L Train a very nice older woman stopped me from reading Into the Wild and asked me if that was the book about the people who traveled to Alaska and died. Well, this does take place in Alaska but it’s the story about one boy who…

The Man Behind the Curtain Scares the Shit out of Me
Toby Joe and I have been probably the only two people in all of America (outside of the obvious nut jobs) listening to the Alito hearings via CSPAN (Toby) and NPR (myself). There have been several times where I considered writing about what I have heard. Generally speaking, I should stick to questions about no-hitters,…

For Some, There Really Is No Such Thing As a Stupid Question.
I often find myself wondering about the most mundane things. I’m used to it. If you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to live with me, you’ve probably been forced to get used to this as well. Toby Joe humors me constantly. Before I met him, I had an older brother who would answer my questions. Questions…
