I just finished the article about Barry Bonds' forthcoming trial for lying about his use of steroids.
But I have to say, if he wants to shrivel his baby-makers in order to hit more home runs, I really don't care. (Shrugs)
Apparently a lot of people do care about it, though. :-\

On the basis of the geographic references, I presume the author grew up in or very near to New Hope, Pennsylvania. I know New Hope well, or did, anyway; I haven't been up there in years, now. It's an artsy place--appropriate for the author's scenic designer father and former dancer mother, and something of a haven for gay Philadelphians with automobiles. Her father's studio was in Lambertville, New Jersey, which is directly across the Delaware River from New Hope, and she writes about walking to Jersey after school for music lessons. You can do this by walking across the bridge between New Hope and Lambertville.

Interesting. I learned--or, rather, deduced--from an articile in this morning's Metro that "The Lamb Roast" was culled from the new autobiography of chef Gabrielle Hamilton, who did, indeed, grow up in New Hope, Pennsylvania. Her book is called Blood, Bones & Butter.

BB&B has drawn a lot of attention. It's supposed to be good.
