[The Trouble with Spikol] • In a non-dream situation, here’s a story about being stuck in the bathroom when the doorknob fell off. This happened to me once. MacGyver-like, however, I managed to jimmy the lock open with a Q-tip. No, really. [Starting a Landslide in My Ego] • When two people in, say, a marriage both work they earn, on average, twice what one person earns! Who knew? CJR investigates. [Slacktivist] • And, finally, here’s some commentary on the Philadelphia murder rate, though this is a novel of a piece, so be sure to grab a Snickers or something beforehand. [Classical Values] |

About the doorknob story: My cat, Augie, was so needy he couldn’t be alone for more than five minutes. When I wanted to get away from him, I’d go into the bathroom and close the door. The damn cat taught himself how to open the door. He’d put a paw on either side of the doorknob, and turn (while meowing). He always looked very jaunty when he came in.
