Be responsible. Don’t drink and drive, and don’t overcook your turkey.

First Night

I’m working on a Web site for First Night of Maplewood/South Orange. And I’m not especially happy with it. I’m finding new and exciting sIFR bugs for which I need to track down some solutions, particularly in how links don’t work in Safari. Probably it would be best to just go with graphics for the [...]

Here’s an interesting read from biologist Robert M. Sapolsky. A real fish-out-of-water story, it’s filled with amusing anecdotes based on his twenty-plus years’ experience in Kenya studying the behavior of baboon tribes and how their social hierarchy affects the stress levels, and therefore the health, of individuals.
Sapolsky somehow developed real personal relationships with the [...]

Not one to mince words, Frank’s 2008 volume, “The Wrecking Crew,” dissects the workings of the conservative movement, including the K-Street takeover along with its long roots in various unsavory, unethical and illegal activities going back to the 1980s. They may not call it a “bad government” movement, but that’s precisely what it is.

Our first of the year, a few lonely white flakes drifting down. A dusting on the roof. All gone already.
I know, you in the Great Lakes region got hammered this week. We still have green leaves on a lot of the trees out here in New Jersey.

Just so you don’t think this blog is fading away, I’ve had a frenetic couple of days (in a good way, I’m not complaining) that’s kept me from even checking my email. We plan to return to our regularly scheduled agenda of fascinating and stimulating posts very soon.
Ultimate

Frisbee, that is. Little known fact: Ultimate Frisbee is a bona fide sport. Even less-known fact, it was invented right here in Maplewood, NJ. The Times ran a nice story in their online edition this morning, highlighting our local high school.
The sport, which is played by millions of adults and children internationally, was invented [...]
