Bill Moyers
Saw Bill Moyers at the Union Square Barnes & Noble. I totally didn’t know that he was going to be there — I had intended to rendevous with P– because she forgot her cell phone. However, he had just read part of his new book, Moyers on America: A Journalist and His Times. We decided [...]

Tuesday into Wednesday
Hmm. Got on the D-train tonight, and there were all these people with Yankee jerseys on. I kept thinking, huh? And then it hits me – the D takes people to and fro Yankee Stadium. D’uh – I got aboard a train just after the game ended. At one point, some guys teased (rather harmlessly, [...]

Supreme Court Monday
I enjoy the moments where I appreciate that I went to law school; for instance, I can watch the Lehrer newshour talk about the Supreme Court decisions on the enemy combatant cases and actually understand what the talking heads are saying. Ooh. Anyway, good read on the Supreme Court cases in the continuing dialogue between [...]

Cousins
Quick posts: it’s really easy to engage in inertia when you’re still jet lagged after 5 days. But that will be for later on. My cousins from Toronto are in town through the 4th of July. However, they have no idea what they want to do. Spent the day yesterday at the New Jersey Law [...]

Something Saturday
The Cheney thing continues – although for me, the story is the reaction to the story. As today’s NY Times and the Washington Post notes, the two parties are getting real nasty. The Democrats, via Senate minority leader, Daschle, was calling for unity and peace and all that, and various Republicans went with Cheney that [...]

Thunderstormy Friday
It’s pouring right now; Mets v Yankees baseball is postponed for a doubleheader on Sunday. Interesting Asian/Asian American stuff in the NY Times today: “A Crash Course in Tradition for Modern Korean Brides” – according to this article, one may have higher degrees in Chinese literature and originally planned to get that Ph.d., but feel [...]

Wednesday into Thursday
Slate.com’s Seth Stevenson has the latest “Ad Report” to comment on (drum roll, please) – those Budweiser v. Miller ads. You know, the Miller ads have this dorky spokesman who’s running for president of beers against the Budweiser Clydesdale spokeshorse.

Summer Solstice Monday
Funny – I thought yesterday was summer solstice; d’uh, it’s actually today – the time of year when the natural light is out that much longer (even at the hour in which I’m writing this blog). See, I like summer for this one reason – the light (not the humidity – so help me Gosh, [...]

The Longest Day
Seattle pics, Vancouver pics Some pics to tide you over until I can get a proper entry filed for the trip — finally got the Internet working in the hotel. This was the longest day, though — in British Columbia, dawn broke at about 5 am and dusk was at 10 pm. Saw the dragon [...]
