They blinded me with science 2

Does anyone say "Godfrey Daniel"? 3
I mean, since W.C. Fields and your grandfather died. Should more people say it?
He had two stints in Spokane
http://1966topps.blogspot.com Baseball cards were on my radar during his career, but I cannot say that I remember him. I do not intend anything snarky by this, but doesn't his name almost sound like a generic baseball player name?

Annoying Newsroom Behavior No. 65 2

Something you don't have to worry about
Most people submitting something to me for consideration as a column item know to include their phone number. But sometimes readers forget or simply choose not to write it down. So I ask for it when I reply to their email. A vast majority of…

Enjoying bands I had never heard of 1
That has been one result of recording "The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon" and speeding through it the next day. I can't say I have been wild about every one of the bands he has had on. But I've liked a lot of them. You?
How to make some people very angry 2
