Have you ever given much thought to the stuff you like? Over the past week I’ve had a bit more time than usual to think about it. And then there was the TNT back-to-back showing today of two of my favorite movies (Pay it Forward and Erin Brokavich). It’s a sign. Let’s talk about all…
Slowly, slowly I’m getting back to full speed. Typing is still a bitch. But I wanted to put a quick plug in for my CityLife colleague Matt O’Brien who is hosting a book launch party tonight at First Friday in the Arts Factory. His new book is Beneath the Neon.
