This past weekend, ACE went to Atlanta!
(Sadly, we were not the full ACES, as Sherlock got the consolation prize of a fun-filled weekend at the local pet hotel.  Yes, I know that’s a pretty lame euphemism, but I’m sticking with it, OK?)
We’ve all been missing Aunt Georgia since she moved down south in March, and [...]

It’s a DVR alert!  Tonight, tune into BIO channel (formerly Biography) at 10pm for The Tragic Side of Fame. (It will also be repeated again at 11pm and then at midnight; click here for more showtimes.  That way if you have a DVR conflict because you’re already recording Futurama and Wilfred/Louie in the 10pm hour, [...]

Did you miss me?
Well, the Noah’s have returned from our vacation in the wilderness, and I’m glad to say that we all had a wonderful and relaxing time.  Eli absolutely loved playing in the water, we got to spend a lot of quality time with the family, and we even were able to venture out [...]

Today, after spending her whole life as a New Yorker, my Aunt Georgia is moving to an Atlanta suburb.

2. The 2011 NCAA Men’s Basketball Tournament – Without Cornell in it, I just don’t care.  And no, I don’t feel like filling in [...]

I know this isn’t what Fat Tuesday is really about, so forgive the pun.  But…
It is no secret that in the years since I ran the marathon, I haven’t exactly been keeping up with my physical fitness regimen.  I tried to keep myself in decent shape for the wedding, but after that, things definitely slipped. [...]

For the past decade, I have been a freelancer. For the uninitiated, that means that I work from project to project.  For the most part, I keep pretty busy, but every now and again, I get a few weeks off in between shows.  Like recently, for example.  I started on a new show yesterday, and [...]
