Happy Belated Birthday, James Thurber!
I was so busy over the weekend, that I didn’t get around to wishing my favorite hometown boy a happy birthday. He was born on 8 December 1894, right here in Columbus.
Here’s a link to my article about the Thurber House (which I now live very close to, incidentally).
I’m on The Connected Worlds Podcast…
Of course, I co-host it so that is to be expected. Here’s a link to an explanation and first episode. If you’ve ever wondered what I sound like, I guess now is your chance to find out.
Cheers!

Pesky, Pesky Words…
That moment when you’re reading a book put out by a Fancy Publishing Company, only to discover they used the word palate instead of palette:
Picard gets it…
Twice. They did this twice. Thanks for pulling me out of the narrative, Fancy Publishing Company!
