You have to assume that some people went to bed last night with a plan to wear some sort of costume to work today as a celebration of Halloween. I know I did. Though my idea was pretty low-key. Nothing slutty or anything. But then,…
A friend noted that one of the individuals in a marriage dissolution is named Ma'lady. She wondered if that woman's mother considered the possibility that some might pronounce the name as "malady." Speaking of Ma'lady, do you recall the episode of "Frasier" in which Dr.…

Did you like "NOVA" better back before PBS decided it had to have a reality show component to it? I'm thinking of the recent episodes about the first balloons and WWI aircraft. Great topics. But the modern-day people trying to duplicate some of the long-ago…
I haven't mentioned this in a few days, so perhaps the answer is not known to all.
Everyone will use good judgment tomorrow night or KREM's Frances Wang will stick around Spokane for a long time?
It's probably not a strong likelihood, for multiple reasons. But If you ever find yourself working as a newspaper columnist and the deadline for your Friday column is Monday, don't ever write about something timely. A lot can happen between Monday and Friday and many…
This is the Slice column that greeted you on the day you arrived. (At the end of this column, I name three SR page designers. Can you identify the one still working here?) http://www.spokesman.com/stories/1997/oct/30/the-slice-a-hope-ful-halloween-tale/
Do you ever build up such a head of steam that you find yourself later wondering if you unfollowed some people you had not intended to jettison?

How well do you know your CCR? www.amazon,com http://www.allmusic.com/album/green-river-mw0000193431 My first editor once wondered aloud what the Lodi Chamber of Commerce thought of one of the songs on this album.
