I’ve spent the last couple of months reading “War and Peace.” Here’s my review: It’s pretty long. I started the book as sort of a lenten exercise. Instead of giving up something I loved, like wine and sloth, I decided to take on something laborious — not really realizing that this particular labor would […]
Holiday Bill is back
By the way, if you haven’t seen “A Very Murray Christmas” yet on Netflix, we here at the Warehouse have given it four stars and demand that it be required holiday viewing for aging misanthropes everywhere.

Fun with vampires
We all have our guilty pleasures, and one of mine at the moment is “The Strain,” the TV adaptation of the books by Guillermo del Toro. It’s all about vampires taking over New York City.
