June 30, 2007 Is it possible to be “killed by stab wounds”? According to the Seattle Times, it is. Today’s story about the murder of Mike Webb, a former radio talk show host, says Webb was “killed by stab wounds.” That may be technically, medically, and/or forensically correct (I really don’t know), but it sounds […]

June 25, 2007 About two weeks ago, an unpleasant smell greeted me in the lobby of my apartment building: the smell of vomit mostly covered up with an air freshener or a cleaning solution. And a black doormat on the floor had a few obvious, whitish stains. The night before, I’d seen a couple of […]
