The plan for this trip changed about 16 times. I was going to go to Ptown; and then I added a road trip up to Boston and Maine to do a little leaf peeping and visit with an old (emphasis on old) friend; and then I found out Rachel Bloom was doing a show in NYC for 4...

Today is Janet Jackson Appreciation Day. If you don’t know why, Google it. It has to do with the Super Bowl incident. In honor of that, I have compiled a list and a YouTube playlist of my favorite Janet Jackson songs. It includes major hits that you know and...
