I’m sure all of you wonderful readers have heard by now that Congress recently passed their ruling on pizza and determined that it is, in fact, a vegetable. This is a pretty curious thing even to bother with right now, considering the national and world economy are both teetering on the brink of collapse, along […]

It’s nothing too serious, but we’ve been together for a while and it’s fallen into a sort of casual relationship. I’m really content at the moment, but I can’t help but […]
It’s time for President Fred Lawrence to meet Waltham’s mayor. In an interview this week with The Hoot, Mayor Jeannette A. McCarthy, who was just elected to a third term, said that, although she attended Lawrence’s inauguration last spring, she has not yet met with Lawrence in an official capacity.
