THE INSEIDE DOPE: Foolin' around (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While I've been a nugator my entire life, I never realized it till a few days ago. Actually, I always knew I was a nugator; I just never knew the word. And why would I, since it's about as esoteric as it gets. I heard it from Kookie, who heard it from Leonardo Non-DaVinci, who in turn had stumbled across it web surfing and said it fit me to a T. It's derived from the Latin word, 'nugae," which means jokes or trifles. In other words, a nugator is a fool. But he's a fool, as in a court jester â

THE INSEIDE DOPE: Thanks, but no thanks (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Last week I kicked off my column with a micro-rant about thank-you notes. Or more exactly, about the scarcity, if not soon-to-be extinction of them. I hadn't given any thought to thank-you notes for a long tie, probably because it seems decades since I'd last gotten one. But a few weeks ago, what appeared in my Mail-O-Wave but â you guessed it â a thank-you note. Hand-written, legible and orthographically correct. Oh still, my beating heart! After I recovered from the combined feeling of sho

Read excerpt
Last week I saw something I hadn't seen in decades: A thank-you note â addressed to me, no less. Actually, over the years I have seen a lot of thank-you notes, even thank-you letters. Only thing is, they were from the distant past and I was reading them out of historical interest, since they were addressed to famous people, not li'l ole Dopey me. They were curiosities. more than vital communications. You know the ilk: FDR thanking his veterinarian for ridding Fala of his fleas (Fala's, not FDR
