Hello to New Followers from the Arlington Cemetery/Website purge story! Drop me a line to say hi!
If you need to restore your faith in Arlington and its people, I wrote this story last year about an Army general and the Tomb of the Unknown.

An Army general's final 'walk' at the Tomb of the Unknowns
William Zana, the only guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier to reach the rank of general, took a final shift on his last day in the Army.

every graph is a red flag that no editor seriously read this piece.

"blah blah blah," this life coach told me.

Well, its a quote, so she sure as F better have told you.

and on a story about - need to repeat it - predatory finance and addiction, your voice of reason is a "life coach"?

It’s difficult to explain to non-Jews the extent to which Jewish children are raised to believe that the single greatest athlete in American history is Sandy Koufax

Hands down funniest thing my car does is pull up a photo of Charo whenever I listen to Clairo
The song Add Up My Love by Clairo (which fucking rocks by the way) but my Prius thinks it’s Charo

OK, but there IS a Paradise, California. my buddy is from there and it burned down a couple years ago with the wildfires.

i can't believe it, but i'll check this out. looks just Emily-coded enough to possibly be ok.

thanks to my then-Middle- and Elementary School daughters, this was my Covid show.

absolutely worth every second.

You know the writer and particularly layout or social media editor here was NOT a fan because the photo isn't Emily.

"Gilmore Girls" debuted 25 years ago. Still, every year, many fans make a TV pilgrimage to the fictional town of Stars Hollow, Connecticut, as the weather cools and the leaves begin to change.

An actual hot take: Too many authors are afraid of editors watering down their voice or whatever and not afraid enough of editors letting you put any old slop on the page.

Per sources: Bill Belichick has discussed buyout options with North Carolina’s hierarchy. Belichick has signaled a willingness to trigger his own $1 million buyout if he can find a soft landing with another team or in media
