Brad Graham“My favorite animal at the Zoo is the lesser kudu. You have to admire an animal with a name like that, laboring as he must in the shadow of the greater kudu. It must be like having an older brother who excelled at sports and academics in school, to whom you have always been compared and found lacking. A few months ago, I was visiting the Zoo at lunch with a friend and discovered the area where the lesser kudu is ordinarily found was empty.

I hope he made a break for it. I hope he made his way out into the world, free of expectations, shedding labels, determined only to be the best damn kudu he could be.”

R.I.P. Brad Graham —1968 — 2010

That means that since I have a wishlist there, I can’t see anyone else’s! The hell? What did they change? Has anyone else found a

Flicks

In the last week I’ve seen K-PAX, One Night at McCool’s, Home for the Holidays, and Almost Famous. Almost Famous is just an excellent movie. I loved it when I saw it in the theater and when I saw it again just now I was amazed at how good it really is. It’s one of
