Apparently Japanese television ... http://getthismanadoctor.com/film-crew This Sunday was the annual Court Street fair. The street fair season signals the beginning of summer, which means everyone is a little bit too excited about a bunch of funnel cake stands showing up on their street corner. I got completely burned by PJ Hanley's this weekend. On Friday they ... http://getthismanadoctor.com/court-street-fair-2 After spending about twenty minutes today catching up on the Virginia Tech story, I've used up about as much energy as I can. Most people have used the story as a political soapbox, spouting nonsense about everything from gun control and racism to prescription drugs and the media.

Currently it is 32 degrees and snowing in New York. In Miami it is a cold day---probably won't get into the 80's.

Since New York is such a Catholic city, I've decided to participate in this whole Lent thing for the first year ever. I mean... why should the Catholics have all the fun?
