So I just watched Source Code, which I liked quite a bit more than I expected. Based on my Movie Plus-Minus — which, damn, I still need to patent* — I’d give it a plus-1.5 star rating, which is very good (I expected a 1.5 or 2 movie, and it was probably a 3 or…

My friend Bob Costas left a message for me yesterday. It was a very nice message — Bob is a great guy — but he also had a slight disagreement. Bob and I are very often on the same page when it comes to baseball, but he was reading a small essay I wrote in…
