I’ve never met Terry (what I call her), but I love the idea that by coming to Philadelphia it suddenly becomes a possibility that I might run into her, cool glasses and all, in her natural habitat.

Not me though — I swing for the fences.

Christmas Eve is magic. Always has been, always will be in my book! (That’s because my book is entitled “Christmas Eve is Magic.”) It’s my favorite day of the year and it totally kicks the butt of Easter Eve and decimates Secretary’s Day Eve.

And then sell it to you all at friends and family discount.

Best Song: I like that Forster People’s song Emily keeps singing in her cube. She’s got a good voice. Best Album: That Strokes [...]
