Tuesday December 26, 2006

Entertainment: This is just terrible news. The comic strip Foxtrot is switching to a Sunday-only format. I’ve been reading it daily for years and years now. The days just won’t be the same…

Books: It’s too late for Christmas, but maybe someone in your life would still appreciate this, a Bruce Wilkinson surprise pack. Or not.
