The Last Time I Was There
Old Fire Station Theatre, Oxford Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Since we’re about to head back to the UK (less than 5 days away, now), it only makes sense to put some photos from my last trip up on Flickr. In 2002, I split my time between London and Surrey, with side trips to Oxford and …
Was It Wednesday?
You mean the day before today? Yeah. Suppose it was. And Wednesday means trivia. Please note this post’s lack of accompanying victorious scoresheet. That’s right, the winning streak was held at four-in-a-row. Our stumble could be attributed to the unexpected arrival of a substitute for our usual presenter — Kelly had to coach something somewhere …

Is Four-peat A Word?
Four In A Row Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. Well, it might as well be. Once again, the Hispanics did the impossible and landed another first place win at the Mellow Mushroom of Lower Buckhead (Upper Midtown). And this one was close as close can be, since the Olsen Twins were right on our tail all …
Selling 1950
Maybelline (May 1950) Originally uploaded by grabbingsand. I have a bound collection of New Yorker magazines from the summer of 1950.
