Let me guess. It was Block Island. I’ve only been once, many years ago, and Lincoln Chafee was at a restaurant we were at. I had no idea who he was, and I can’t even remember why I was there. He came over (!) and said hello to us and we all stood up and shook his hand and wished him well. He must have been running for… Read more

Highly underrated gem. My wife and still sing ‘I Honestly Love You’ to each other in an exaggerated voice sometimes. Read more

Dick, Drop Dead Gorgeous (possibly the best teen movie of the last 30 years, and yet I believe impossible to find streaming or even on DVD?), Bring It On, and Get Over It. Kirsten Dunst was the unsung hero of the teen comedies of 96-01 and I LOVE HER.

Dick taught me that I wasn’t the only person who loved arm tickles,… Read more
