Editor:  Lao Du, how are you feeling? LD:  Well, except  for the cough, the fever and the shortness of breath, I’m fine. Editor:  That’s not funny. LD:  Ok, ok, no shortness of breath. Editor: Still not funny. LD:  Ok, okay, I would feel much better if I could notch...

The Governor of NY just announced that Phase IV is about to happen in Westchester County.  Before you jump up and down like a third grader who’s just been handed a Three Musketeers bar before going outside for recess, you should know that this phase 4 opening excludes...

Several weeks ago, I gave myself a haircut.  Not a good idea.   On the side of my head, just a little northeast of my left ear, it looks like some golfer left a large divot with a sand wedge.  Well, ordinarily it would have been a big deal, and I would probably have...
