Lileks
I described James Lileks in the meme last week. If you want to give him a try, his description of a family trip to Walt Disney world is a great place to start.

Can you believe the Tribune killed his column? What a bunch of tools.

Actually, yes. He's a heretic, he's part of the internet culture undermining their way of life, and he doesn't have many friends among the decision-makers. I bet it's just union rules keeping him from getting fired. Now if the paper had competent management they'd probably be setting him up as the webgod for the paper . . . but how many newspapers have that?

Worst choice the paper could have made.

I'm sure he'll be fielding plenty of offers.

Y'know, I think he nailed Disney World perfectly. You know it's fake, manufactured for your benefit, but you drink the Kool-Aid, and for a time, it's just fine, thank you.

Good morning! Guess who lost the directions you'd given her to gaming?
If you get this before you leave, will you please send them to me? I have the map link, but I lost the chat where you gave me directions from there.
Hope to hear from you =)
