  • Yesterday was the 160th anniversary of Edgar Allan Poe’s death.  We failed by not making mention of this.  January Magazine did not make the same mistake.
  • I don’t even eat meat, but I am totally in support of the blog Save the Deli putting out a a book.
  • Michael Crichton’s widow wants a bunch of money.  She’s sad because has so far only received two million dollars.
