Call it the Fugazi Rule and lock up middle-aged, white Brooklyn for a fleeting generation
The other night I arrived, thanks to LA traffic, too late to NOT park at the lot next to the sports venue. I do it at least once each season. Three years ago: $40. Last: $50. Other night? $65! We talk about the price of eggs but, the candidate who runs on “prices can’t be insane,” wins in a walk.
Hip Harp is peak winter Sunday morning puttering around the house while more coffee brews

I’m just surprised he found someone to let him sit on his shoulders in a trench coat so they’d let him in the bar. lasvegassun.com/news/2026/fe...

I’m available to start a book review cooperative. I don’t have any money, but I have a ton of editing experience, and I love doing it. And I write, too.
