A mixed marriage
We all know that this is a mixed marriage (pause for effect)... Between an accountant and a human being (pause for laughter)... and I know you wish the bride and groom every happiness, as I do. I have known Brad and Juliette since we were children. We still argue about that first kiss. Was it me, or was it Brad, who first pressed their lips against that rosy red cheek… or… have you told her the truth yet, Brad? (Pause for more laughter). Well, Bradley, old buddy, you old Romeo, your plight now prevails. You have won the hand of your Juliette (pause for more effect). You won her fair and square... well square, at least (more laughter). Congratulations, Bradley, you have the bride of your dreams. Well done Juliette, you have at last made up your mind. I know… because... you made that crystal clear... this morning… over breakfast.

Crossing Into Darkness
Bold and breathtaking, yet somehow subdued and intimate, Crossing Into Darkness is the most stunning small art show I have seen in a long time. It combines astonishing, and sometimes atypical works, from some of the most important artists you know, with equally important work from artists you have never heard of.

Wikimedia reviews begging approach
Do you ever wonder why some stories or articles you write and publish online get more reader interest than others? I do, and sometimes the reason is obvious, sometimes not. Of course we expect our best work to get the most attention, but sometimes it does not. Sometimes we write about something that gets much more interest than we had anticipated. Why?
