Question: what do you call a long opiniony piece from the NYTimes magazine? Not an article, right? Because it's not news? "Piece" is the other thing I can think of, but that sounds weird to me.
I'm all up in the law now, but damn it feels good to get my violence on.

Jesse, how about "column"?

It's bigger than a column/op-ed, is the thing. I don't know what it looked like in the actual magazine, but the printout is 11 pages. I think "essay" is the way to go.

Our wings are not tired.
For Xmas my husband gave me a box, with a hole cut in it, and inside were pictures of Dick Cavett, Dick Van Dyke, Dick Van Patten, Moby Dick, etc.
That is most awesome.
I have to remember to send the link to my parents, once my father has the new computer up and running.
Is your dad's name Dick?
I still have to show that to my household. My brother and his wife mentioned it Christmas Eve, but I couldn't explain to my family or sister because my parents would not have been pleased. Bro and I laughed though.

Ha! No. We just couldn't stop laughing about it, and the parents hadn't seen it yet.

What are people doing for New Year's Eve? Chicagoistas?
I have no plans. Other than possibly eating ice cream and marathoning Heroes all night.
