  • Just Ask Google0

    Here I am in the car on an eight-and-a-half-hour road trip, writing my column. Time wasn’t on my side to get it done before we left, but when you have hours in the car, you might as well write. I do get car sick, but I just have to stop here and there and look

    The Bookworm Sez: “Dinner with the President: Food, Politics, and a History of Breaking Bread at the White House” by Alex Prud’Homme0

    The invitation said Black Tie Only and you know what that means. It means this isn’t some put-on-the-old-feedbag kind of event. You’ll need your best manners, and you should brush up on where the glass goes and what to do with your fork. You don’t want any faux pas attached to your name, no emotionally-charged

  • The World of Weird Words0

    Last week, Webb’s Weird Words wandered into the wonky world of sesquipedalian terms — meaning “long” or “polysyllabic” (literally: “one and a half feet”).
