Dateline: LA County
Your GNN non-entertainment correspondent has a lot on her mind today. To quote a newscaster from the crash of the Hindenburg, “Oh, the humanity!”
Since I’d been over on the other side of the country for so long, I had forgotten that most of LA is connected by freeways the breadth of two landing […]

Dateline: A Canadian Airport
Due to pressing duties at home, Bongo flew home early and is now as I write this, completing his reporting on his recent journey.
Bongo’s lovely sweetie gave him a ride to the airport. Bongo wandered into the airport and became confused by the self service kiosks so he found a person […]

Dateline: The Highway
During a long driving shift for Bongo, his lovely wife alternated between tending to the needs of the children, gazing out the window at the beautiful scenery, fiddling with the CD player (putting David Bowie on after selecting shoes for me and then not letting me buy them because they looked too gay […]

Dateline: On the road
In a setting that was strangely familiar to this intrepid reporter - reminding him of his own childhood, running jokes in movies, and his life as a parent so far - a child behaved as children have in said aforementioned setting.
The setting was a long car trip under the direction of cheerful […]

Dateline: Internet
Gnus Non-News has had a few visitors in the last week. Many of them were loyal readers of the “other” non-news. One asked a very good question, and that was “Where the heck are the homophones?”
Be advised that just because we left that sinking orange ship on the other side of the internet does […]

Dateline: Far, far away
To celebrate the late (re)opening of GNN, Bongo has gone on a family trip leaving his home and surviving attack cat in the care of the dear troglodytic night guy who (as you might guess from the descriptor ‘troglodytic’) lives in the basement. This celebration includes being away from the net. To […]

Dateline: Bongo’s Place
This intrepid reporter had a most un-noteworthy adventure.
A month or so ago, one of our friends convinced us that we would enjoy watching “Arrested Development” on DVD. The claim was made that it was a funny show about a dysfunctional family. My sweetie and I like funny things. They make us laugh. We’re […]

Dateline: Hollywood (or thereabouts)
Before my friends start calling me and use up my valuable Anytime Minutes to wonder where I’ve been the last couple of months, I have to confess that I’ve been undercover on a special assignment for GNN. This assignment led to the dark unseemly underbelly of the celebrity world, where, as luck would […]

Dateline: Modern Day
Kids these days aren’t taught much grammar in school. The Queen’s English has gotten harder over the last century and it’s all because of a guy named Albert. He wasn’t a native English speaker and that’s what caused the problem. He came up with a couple of theories about how space and time […]

Dateline: Winter
The season is unchanged. It is still winter. Yet, one may expect and certainly hope that the winterishness of it all is less grim, gray, and generally icky than it has to be. The noon sun softly illuminating panoply of frost encrusted branches against a background of a pale blue sky is a sight […]
