  5. CPUSA automatically extends membership to New York Times employees by professional courtesy. Either that, or it's a condition of employment, I never can remember which.

  6. Who is the man in the photo? Whomever he is he isn't 37 and that hot chick isn't his wife. I smell a rat.

  7. Lost and found treasures.

    This week I needed to store some of my mother's bric-a-brac to make way for remodeling. Amongst her collection of tea cups, I found a surprise. Across 3 centuries, thousands of miles, and the hands of 4 generations: A ghost in a cup.
