The Weekend Eudemon

On tap this weekend: Social gathering, short field trip with Meg, Mass, soccer game, church breakfast, out-of-town company. My wife told me last night that I've become a recluse, but it simply isn't true. I think she means I've become a person

Friday

Color me flummoxed over Imus. I listened to him when I lived in Detroit in the late 1980s and early 1990s. I liked him; I didn't like Howard Stern. I found Imus somewhat urbane, if occasionally outrageous; I found Stern consistently obnoxious. When I started listening to Imus,

Happy Easter
