Sunday Potpourri: Hebrew Calendar Birthday Edition
Shanah tovah to my friends who celebrate! I was born on Rosh Hashanah in 1965, when my dad was working at Percy Cohen in Nashville as an interior decorator/salesman. In celebration of that auspicious event (my birth), Mr. Cohen bought … Continue reading

In Which the Prof Is Surfed and Turfed
Mrs. M and I made it back to Mondoville from Myrtle Beach this morning, having had to hurry back in time to return the rental car. There were moments of adventure, but the casualties were light. The Spawn and her … Continue reading

THIS JUST IN: Bouchercon 2022 Update
Flash! Good evening Mr. and Mrs. America and all the ships at sea! Although I was late in registering for this year’s B’con (at the lovely Minneapolis Hilton), the wonderful folks at the organizing committee (looking at you, SKM!) have … Continue reading

Wednesday Afternoon Potpourri: Pats on the Back Edition
I’m relaxing in my office, listening to the Green Pajamas and taking a break from reading Nathanael West (an author who makes me look downright Panglossian.) And what else is going on? *** The highlight of recent action here took … Continue reading
