Boston Frisbee Halloween extravaganza!
I've written about Boston Frisbee before. It's the awesome group that's open and welcoming to everyone, which plays frisbee three times a week. I play sometimes on Sundays, on the grounds of the Boston Common. Logistics and other details are available.On Halloween weekend, they play a game in costumes. There are some funky special rules added for some points, contests, and more fun stuff. This past Sunday both Alli and I played in our costumes, and w

Book review: Orbiting the Giant Hairball
This is not my usual kind of book, but it was a gift from my great friend Jeremy H. And I really, really enjoyed it.Every once in a while, I get comfortable thinking: "Hey, we're pretty creative here. We do cool stuff, we're open-minded, we experiment. We're still young, we're not afraid to try."And then I read a book like Orbiting the Giant Hairball, and I realize I'm far from exercisin

Wine review: 2007 Crochet Sancerre
Usually I write wine reviews about wines I like, or wines I love. I want to remember them, for future purchases, investments, and recommendations to friends.This one is an exception. This 2007 Dominique et Jeanine Crochet Sancerre was not good. We did not enjoy it, and I don't recommend it.It's bland, boring. Not really refreshing, not really powerful, doesn't quite nail any fruit. Just meh.I'm writing this because I had higher expectations for this wine, based on reviews and reading. Oh well, live and learn ;)

Book review: The Assassin
Stephen Coontz's The Assassin was pretty disappointing to me. Even if you only read the blog posts from today, you know I love assassin novels. Of all kinds, in all areas. I read a lot of them. It's almost pathological. But it also means my level of tolerance for assassin stories is high, and I am relatively easy to please within this genre.But this book did not please me. It was too trite, too unoriginal, too implausible. I read it on

Book review: House of Cards
House of Cards: A Tale of Hubris and Wretched Excess on Wall Street, by William D. Cohan, is the story of how Bear Stearns collapsed last year. It's kind of similar to A Colossal Failure of Common Sense, which I reviewed last month, a
