Therapy, says Buffett, "has helped me learn that my life is not an endless Buffett show." Band members say he has mellowed and become more real in his dealings with them--less given to angry outbursts, less interested in throwing postconcert parties to show the younger players what it was like in the old days, more able to have an actual conversation. But it's a work in progress. "We're just always working on that," says Jane. "We worked on it last night. Everybody is fascinated by Jimmy's life. He tries to remember to ask about theirs...
...applied to be the Philip Brooks House (PBH) summer receptionist, and thankfully received the job. It was basically a secretary's position and ranged from calming down campers' irate parents on the phone to fighting daily with the 200-year-old fax machine. While I met an endless number of truly amazing people, developed a classy receptionist's voice and learned to pick up a ringing phone in .25 seconds, living alone in a tiny on-campus room left my wounds unhealed and my body sleeping up to 15 hours a night.

As the sum got larger and larger, so too did the crowds making pilgrimages across state lines to buy a piece of the dream. Sometimes skipping work, the hopeful drove from Los Angeles to Bullhead City, Ariz., from Chicago to Kenosha County, Wis., from Brooklyn and Queens to the posh New York City suburb...
...place has grown not the rarefied, cerebral, arch alternacomedy that Janeane Garofalo, HBO's Mr. Show and Andy Kaufman-reincarnation Andy Dick have hyped but two much simpler comedic forms: characters and physical gags--the two forms that TV houses most comfortably. Cable has created an endless number of Comedy Central-ready troupes: there are 50 sketch groups in Toronto alone. The cleverest of them, like L.A.'s sketch-comedy and a capella troupe the But Franklies, try to expand the genre. The rest are busy perfecting Limp...
