When was the last time the Times offered so much stuff worth reading?
Can’t wait to dig into the presidential marriage. We learn on the first screen (out of ten! – may have to print this one) that their famous New York date night turned out to be a bummer for them. While they were having dinner, I was walking up Fifth Avenue a few blocks away and caught myself tearing up. Why? As much as anything else, they’re teaching America how to behave publicly in a loving marriage. Who else has ever done that?
And while the Times often stumbles in its frantic race to slap poorly considered multimedia reporting onto its Web site, the paper’s blogs kick ass. (Oh, please, can’t we come up with a more euphonious word than blog?)
Well is being modest. Exemplary is more like it. And Maira Kalman is given ample space to do nothing less than reinvent reportage.
And now, in the blog You’re the Boss: The Art of Running a Small Business, Bruce Buschel lists the One Hundred Things Restaurant Staffers Should Never Do (Part 1). WOW. Number seventeen has long been a pet peeve. I cannot wait to eat in this man’s restaurant.
