Opening day was already completely booked, but I got two good ones for Saturday. I feel so smug. We were there for A New Hope in first run at the Uptown Theater in DC, and now we’re here for the…

Actually, it could get a lot worse yet. What the airlines really want to do is pack passengers in much tighter than they are now. These stand-up seats are an airline CFO’s dream.
My wife-to-be was dating a friend of my brother; I met her at his place. They had just come from a Halloween party and she was dressed as Holly Hobbie, a cutesy character popular at the time (the ‘70s).

Fun fact: the “WD” in WD-40 stands for “Water Displacement”. “WD-40" is abbreviated from the term “Water Displacement, 40th formula”. Its initial application was treating the outer skin of Atlas missiles.
As a father of two girls, now adults, I’ve learned this: parenthood is paradoxical, and the conflict is inevitable - the process is unwinnable. Your job as a parent is to nurture and protect the child, while the child’s job is to become independent of you. These opposing goals usually come into conflict sometime in…

Fun fact: the lead photo shows the British band The Searchers holding the troll dolls. Left to right is drummer Chris Curtis, guitarists Mike Pender and John McNally, and lead singer Tony Jackson.
