I'm not spending much time around here these days. If you want to reach me substantively, e-mail behindthenet at gmail dot com.

- glissando
- Jerry meets two sorority girls
- excerpts from conversations heard on public transportation
- Shenandoah Valley Campaign
- "I was surprised to hear about the cat."
- Oliver North
