PARDON THE INTERRUPTION
Some of you may have noticed a disappearing story yesterday regarding NYC's plans to protect itself from nuclear attack. That's not coming back, but it's not for national security reasons and you can still read it elsewhere. The new job as Weekend Editor at Gothamist is going very well, I think. I'm having a lot of fun doing it. I'll also be doing some things for the site during the week as well, like the end-of-day wrap-up post titled Extra, Extra. This will feature stories that the staff didn't get around to during the day or stories I think warrant inclusion at a one-line level. I'll also be contributing full posts during the week if the Gothamist finds itself short ten fingers, or if I, again, see something that seems particularly interesting for the site. I'll still be posting regularly at Lexiphane.com, and also the least I can do is post links to my other work. Come on over and see what's happening. Without further ado, the links:

Church To Hotel: Stick With Chocolate Bunnies
Some people don't like the idea of a naked Jesus rendered in chocolate hung in a hotel gallery, and a lot people hate those people. Lotta love in the Comments section in my debut.

Good Luck with the new gig, but if I wanted to read Gothamist, I'd go there.
I come here to hear the brash, unabated, sometimes borderline profane commentary that publications with mass readership are scared to print.
Keep up the good work here, and don't let it Lexiphane lose it's own unique identity.
