Recent Work
October 2nd, 2014-Is there too much hugging going on today? Is there any way for the huggily-inclined to co-exist peacefully with the non-huggy? I tried to answer these questions in a recent New York Times column. Afterwards, I got to talk about it on the excellent Colin McEnroe Show (I’m on at about the 38:37 mark).
-Recent news reports suggested that the popularity of kale is leading to a shortage of everyone’s favorite cruciferous veg. My spoof, from the New Yorker.
-Also from the New Yorker: I imagined why Martha Stewart is so enamored of the drone she has at her house in Bedford
, NY. (And, then, praise God, Ms. Stewart mentioned that very piece in her own explanation of her amour de drone.)
-I tackled the etiquette of books–reading them, suggesting them, rearranging them in stores–for the New York Times Book Review.
–Is there a decorous way to get over an ex? What are the viable options besides genital cuffs or libel?
