As my gardening partner John Henry says, I read too many books. It’s my first time growing potatoes, so before I even started I read copiously about it. There seemed to be One Right Way – which was, after you germinated the things, to dig a trench 2 feet deep, pile in the potatoes in […]
Because as of today, according to the IMDB top 250 list, Toy Story 2 is the 161st best movie of all time. Right. Is Raiders of the Lost Ark (16) really better than The Sting (86), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (40), or The Bridge on the River Kwai (54)? Is it really so […]

It finally stayed in bloom long enough to pose for all of you. Last year it chose to bloom during a weekend of wind storms, and not a single blossom remained. The D.C. Cherry Blossom Festival is going on downtown, and Josh is going to go photograph the trees at dawn. I wanted to go […]
