MEDIA GEEK EVENING: Got home to two messages on the answering machine. One was saying that the New York Times story will run Thursday (hope it’s not like this one), the other was a message asking my wife to appear on Jenny Jones and talk about murderous preteens. (She declined). Then I spent some time fiddling with photos I took for the law school’s new website, and now I’m working on music for her documentary. (The director wants “German industrial” for one scene. . . uh, okay.) Meanwhile my daughter was practicing to play Lousia May Alcott in her school’s biographical show, for which she has a costume (sewn by her grandmother) and a speech (partly written).

Yeah, we’re not like other people. But you knew that.
