Remains of the Day (02/14)

 









The AIDS MemorialYou don't have to have lost friends to HIV to be infuriated by this ... as a palate cleanser, so nice to also read about a woman like Ruth Coker Burks

Hot Cat of the Day: Chocolate takes a work call


Side Dishes: Looking forward to reading my pal Erik Piepenburg's "Dining Out: First Dates, Defiant Nights, and Last Call Disco Fries at America's Gay Restaurants," which you can preorder HERE




Comma Ground: If you're in the NYC area, I would love to see you at the premiere of Ellen Jovan's "Rebel With a Clause," a new documentary about my editing pal's roving Grammar Table, on March 4 (National Grammar Day!) at 7:30 p.m. at the SVA Theatre in Chelsea. Comma queen and bestselling author Mary Norris will host a Q&A with the director (Brandt Johnson) and Ellen immediately following the film. Tickets HERE.
