The Census Bureau reported that between 1995 & 2000, more people moved from New York City to Philadelphia than the other way round. More than a few eyebrows have twitched over that stat, but it makes perfect sense to me.

I was interviewed by the BBC on Friday. What did they want to talk about? Flarf!

One mystery of the blog, or more specifically of Squawkbox, is a pair of comments I received about the zoo. They show up in Squawkbox when I go to its management tool, but I can’t find them anywhere on the blog site. They’re about the zoo in Buffalo mostly, where Geoffrey Gazta ran a zoo poem project as a fundraiser. What Geoffrey doesn’t know, I’ll wager, is that a mere 33 years ago, I walked a short distance from the Buffalo zoo. Any mention of wombats in Ketjak could be traced there. They were my favorites.

People who know me can tell that Jim Behrle & I haven’t met just by how much hair he gives me in his cartoons. He’s right about Star Trek: TNG, though, but not about roller coasters. I’m terrified of heights.

Other people who know me remember that there was a time when I smoked.
