This was my car last week. Pretty ordinary. 1997 Toyota Corolla, blue, not too much rust but very worn, a few dents and dings here and there. I chose it for reliability, not looks, and it's served me well for many years now. 184,000 miles, so far. Last week, Jeff Sonksen put out an offer [...]

Amanda Palmer, his wife, is a punk-cabaret-performance-artist-manic-Goth-ukelele-playing online phenomenon known for, among many other [...]
Read MoreSo, it's our wedding anniversary today
27 years ago today, a small group of my friends, my family, my soon-to-be in-laws, my fiance, a slightly puzzled reverend, and I gathered together in the Ormond Memorial Art Museum gardens.
