...Prayer Meetings The most intense will probably be his 5:30 Wednesday prayer service at the Basilica of the National Shrine of the Immaculate Conception, the ecumenical prayer service on Friday at 6:00 p.m. at St. Joseph's Church in Manhattan, and at his mass at Nationals Stadium at 9:30 a.m. Thursday and Sunday Mass at 2:30 p.m. at Yankee Stadium. The motto for this entire trip is "Christ Is Our Hope," so expect that theme to be repeated at each venue...
...Stadium in Beijing, or the daily pleasure rendered by a more pedestrian product, like Harry Allen's new first-aid kit for Johnson & Johnson. My first experience with great design dates back to the early 1970s when my parents would buy stuff at a store called Design Research on Manhattan's 57th Street. What I remember most is the Marimekko fabrics, particularly the Unikko poppy print, which graced everything from curtains to pillows.

Paintings of fruit baskets and photographs of Manhattan street corners hung next to very large mirrors. The place was packed.

I love my gay friends and wish I had more (#88), and I have a thing for NPR (#44), Asian fusion food (#45), The Wire (#85) and Patagonia fleeces (#87). I appreciate microbreweries (#23) and Mos Def (#69). And I have two last names...
...punch multiple people in the face and evade arrest and incarceration is ridiculous. While the premises of both of these shows are equally fantastic, they are no more so than the idea of a waitress, a chef, or a masseuse who can afford to live not only in Manhattan, but in a spacious and well-appointed loft. In fact, I (and apparently many viewers) find the absurdity of these new Showtime shows somehow more relatable. Certainly, there is a place for “Friends” on television, just as there is a place for comedies in which...
