Also, from [...]

We’ve had this plate hanging around for a few weeks. It’s just classy-looking and deco-looking enough to make us wonder what luxury liner or mid-century South Beach dinner club it came from.
The guy who owns the antique shop in town ignores it, though, each time he comes in.
So maybe M is just for [...]

Because we know you’re aflame with curiosity:
After six weeks of donations, “Footprints” plaques lead “The Difference,” 3-2.
OK, it took everything I had not to make a Mad Libs-ish reader contest out of these. I mean, look at the fun you can have with Hamlet or the Declaration of Independence.
