Totally light and breezy. Not sure what you meant...

And on second glance, I didn't read the lede well enough, and should've known this came from an active Gawker reader. So I apologize again for being rather nastier than I should've been.

Hey... in the future... just email me if you have a message. ian@ianspiegelman.com... i never remember to check my messages here.

@PandoraSpocks: I meant I don't know how to post video on the main page, which is complicated. I know how to do it in the comments. Sure, post instructions. Thanks!

Not Private:
I love you dear.

Hi Sarah -- Thanks for the good thoughts. Its going to be a pretty grim week. The funeral is Saturday and its going to be massive. He was a cardiologist, but my local MD because we had known him so long -- me and about a thousand other people who trusted him implicitly. Hector was the kind of doctor who works 18 hours a day in 5 different offices, and some of us (myself included) are angry as well as sad because what the hell was he thinking, flying a plane at midnight -- in the rain no less? Paging the God of hubris...
Also, I wanted to make sure you know my name! Its Kim Callahan (Hedden). Kim.Hedden@hotmail.com -- in case I have trouble logging in or get banished! This morning I thought I was in a parallel universe. I tried to login and my old screen name came up and it said July 2007.

Just read the comment where you talked about your husband's colleague. How awful. Death and accidents all around. Chin up and hugs.

I grew up on East 51st Street, in a house on the very site where the crane that collapsed was. I'm thinking it's the work of my mom's ghost (she hated high-rises). Freaky to look at all those photos and see such familiar places.

Ok -- I read Moff's description and still have no clue how to do the picture thing! Can you please explain?? When I go to a photo, there is no > sign!

p.s. You totally deserve a star, btw.

Hah!

Why, I can get you a job in the Department of Duh, because I am the Goddess of Duh! (or so it would seem some days).

I did hear that, but the best part is that the transactions don't appear to have been that suspicious at the outset. Looks like someone might have decided to be "extra vigilant."

I could easily have been mistaken, but I thought I remembered you posting a link to a website that provided a plausible theory of what's going on in LOST... but it could have been someone else...

I always appreciate your style: civil, measured and funny. Thanks for the good feelings.

You pointed everyone in a post long ago to a website that offers a pretty convincing explanation of LOST. I can't find it.

WHAT WAS IT?

and replace the first square bracket with the < bracket, but don't close it with another one at the end. And obviously the website address could just be photobucket or something. So first you just have to make a graph in Excel and upload it as a jpg there. Don't ask me how to make graphs, though. Hope this helps!

Wasn't life simpler then? My first Gyno smoked in his office! I think Denton putting up his own weekend posts is very interesting... Talk to you soon.

AHA! You got it. The still was used in a cigarette ad (MacArthur is smoking,like a good 50's MD), I'mm still in NYC, leaving for the airport in a few minutes. I'll check in on Hez and SLC later tomorrow, if jet lag doesn't get me. Love to you all. If Conbon goes to Safeway, make sure he gets me Dannon coffee yogurt.

"Might be due to the fact that this is the second stupid fucking cooking entertaining Martha Stewart wannabe how to hide broccoli in Froot Loops while serving your guests piece of shit book that some publisher paid good money for we've read about this week. Or maybe that's just me." Holyshitthatwasbrilliant.
