I was watching a friend teach a class recently. Poor thing had a cough, so much so that I walked up during a prolonged hacking fit and gave her a cough drop I’ve had in my purse since last winter. Then I returned to my seat in the back of the room among random women…

I managed to avoid watching the 1962 film version of Cape Fear by hiding in my Mom’s womb. Once I was out I continued avoiding it until a few years ago, when I saw it as a part of our Film Noir binge. Then there was the 1991 remake by Martin Scorsese. I read it…

Remember the Choir! Choir! Choir concert I passed up in February because it was in a sketchy neighborhood? There’s another one December 17 in the entertainment distict in Chicago. Hotel right next door! Obama museum open! December in Chicago! Woo!

The highway interchange by the mall has been distorted into a diverging diamond interchange. I was not expecting this at all. Like so many, I screamed my way through the journey when the lane I was in, the right lane, pictured in red below, aimed me toward the other side of the overpass bridge into…

Oh, good God, just this morning I heard three phone alerts, eight tornado alerts over the TeddyJ PA warning system, and six separate outdoor sirens. I imagine this day of unrelenting tornado alerts is to make up for the lack of alarms when the 2025 tornado hit Saint Louis City. It began at work when…
