Decent, but not my best.

This is a pretty interesting Web site done by an artist couple. They paint what they want and sell it for that price.

Here’s my newest article for the Post’s Weekend section — a review of Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin’s latest album “Pershing.”

Note: this is a REview not a PREview.  As in, it has some actual opinion and — eep — criticism.

I know this blog has been severely neglected. Sorry about that.  I’m going to try to do better.  It’s nice to be able to write about stuff that isn’t TV.
Here’s a starter. For those of you who don’t know, my mom got married a few weeks ago.  I now have a stepfather, a stepsister and a stepdog.  All three are exciting.

Here’s a picture of the new Levine-Miller family.

When the weather turned violent and stormy on Tuesday evening, Lori Mehmen, who lives in the small farming town of Orchard in northeastern Iowa, looked out her front door and saw a funnel cloud bearing down — and evidently had the presence of mind to grab her digital camera and capture this shot before taking cover. The local paper, The Mitchell County Press-News, posted the photo on Wednesday and The Associated Press picked it up today.

The Press-News report says no one was injured by this tornado, which was one of scores reported in Iowa and across the Midwest this week, where storms and heavy rains have also produced widespread flooding.

Ms. Mehmen told the paper that her funnel cloud came close to the ground only briefly, then retreated back up into the clouds. Still, the high winds from the storm knocked down trees, damaged crops, and left behind one indelible image.
