• Wojo Goes Mobile

    I was watching Barney Miller this morning, as is habit. And yes, I am aware it is no longer 1978. Whatever. My AM routine includes the local news, a cup of coffee, and an episode of the aforementioned sitcom featuring the antics of the men (and occasional women) of the 12th Precinct. Thank you, Antenna TV, for your…

  • I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings

    We watched Reality Bites over the weekend, and it made me realize how much I miss the 90s.

  • My Kitchen Thinks It’s 1979

    When I was a kid, I used to eat Special K cereal for breakfast, even as my friends were singing the praises of Frosted Flakes. “They’re grrreat!” they’d declare, but I never saw the appeal. My other obsession was Fresca. Which just goes to demonstrate one thing… I was a weird kid. I’m not saying I…
