Mistakes to avoid when you’re fighting a cold
- We’ve all heard the conventional wisdom: Do nothing for a cold and it will last for seven days; try a host of remedies, and it will last for a week.
The Poets Theatre is reborn with a reading at Sanders Theater of Dylan Thomas's "Under the Milk Wood" featuring Cherry Jones, Alvin Epstein, Karen MacDonald and Tommy Derrah. Those actors were last on stage together in Robert Brustein's adaptation of "Lysistrata" @americanrep or so I'm told.

All good destinations. Some better than others.
Love this. How can you not?
"Not Jefferson, Wilson, Churchill, not even FDR, but Herbert, by God, Hoover. …To me, that’s a real man." – Ted Williams on his political views, as quoted in Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s biography of the baseball great, "The Kid: The Immortal Life of Ted Williams", to be released on Tuesday, Dec. 3 by LittleBrown.

Ted Williams had great aim off the field
An exclusive excerpt from Ben Bradlee, Jr.’s “The Kid”: On Saturday mornings as a boy, Ted [Williams] and one of his best friends, Joe Villarino, would hike up into the hills outside of San Diego and go rabbit hunting, swim and look for Huck Finn-like adventure. “One day,” Villarino remembers, “we was walking around this trail and a rattlesnake come out and Ted shot it with a .45 he had. We laid it aside, and when we came back, he wrapped him around his neck and shoulders and carried it home. Another time, at Dobie’s Pond, there was a kid in trouble. He was about eight or nine. We was about fourteen or fifteen. The kid was kinda splashing around. Ted went in and got him. He didn’t make a big deal of it. He didn’t like to be in the limelight too much.”

Just some musings and electronic gatherings of an ink-stained wretch turned social media junkie. As JADAL says: No trees were destroyed in the sending of this organic message. I do concede, however, a significant number of electrons may have been inconvenienced.
