- It’s about time: “Mr. Belvedere” is coming to DVD. “Wesley, you insufferable little twit.”
- . . .as is the British edition of “Kitchen Nightmares.”
- Skip to the end of this tiringly long Roger Ebert blog entry to read Mark Twain’s hilarious rules for writing. I love Twain’s stuff. I need to go back to it again soon.
- The Ultimate Website for Word/Puzzle Geeks like me: XWord: The NY Times CrossWord Archive. Somehow, they haven’t been shut down for reproducing all those puzzles yet. . . I guess it helps that they don’t provide the blank puzzles — only solved ones.

Nothing makes me feel more inadequate at communicating through the written word than reading Mark Twain.
Thanks for making me feel inadequate Augie!
No problem. I often feel the same way. Twain was a genius. Love that stuff.

I hadn’t read it since high school, but it’s still hilarious.
