The LO Down

I don’t really have a problem with the growing trend of hyphenated last names. But I do wonder what people will think of them a few generations from now. A few weeks ago, for example, I met a woman with a 10-letter last name who had married a man with a 12-letter last name and […]

The LO Down

Mumbai, India ? strike that, Lake Orion ? Remember the T.V. show about the guy who got tomorrow’s newspaper on his doorstep and proceed to save someone’s life in every episode? For two journalists in India, that scenario will now be a reality. Except for the ‘saving lives? part. And it’s a website as opposed […]
