Going Hunting in Seinfeld Country, Just for Laughs. Can a comedian find material for his standup routine on the streets of Manhattan? Jerry Seinfeld tours his neighborhood, the Upper West Side, for some good jokes. By Rick Lyman. [New York Times: Movies] Interesting read. comment [] 12:55:17 PM

In Tolkien Territory, but With Baseball and a Saab. Wise and adorable varmints, a cosmic baseball game and a world in peril figure in Michael Chabon's whimsical new novel. By Janet Maslin. [New York Times: Books] This looks like a terrific book. I just ordered it for my son and I to share (he's something of a baseball fanatic). comment [] 12:54:45 PM
