Cynthia Schumacher is 97 years old and has been writing poetry since high school. For those less math-minded among you, that adds up to a very long time. She's still at it, too, having just put out a book of short stories called Prose Pizza. Where's Tom, you ask? Probably performing amateur dentistry on himself.

The Met Gala happened again, and apparently it was a less ostentatious affair this year. That doesn't mean it was free of dumb stuff. Far from it. It does mean that we spend more time talking about festering skin lesions than what the celebrities were wearing. But who doesn't, really?

Topics:

Movie production coming back to America

Met Gala

Capitol Records days

Dr. Pimple Popper

Topics:

Hantavirus cruise getting worse

Gas prices

Presidential assassination attempts

Tom's dentist
