For most series-type items — episodes of a TV show, issues of a magazine, etc. — 100 is a great milestone that’s celebrated vigorously, as it should be. Doing something 100 times in this era of short attention spans is kind of cool. But I think it’s only appropriate that in a series of posts [...]

When the Trivial Pursuits is out this Christmas, I am safe in the knowledge that I know what the largest US state is, purely because of Michelle shocked and these lines from "Anchorage" :- I mailed my letter off to Dallas, but Her reply came from Anchorage, Alaska and But you know you're in the largest state in the union When you're anchored down in Anchorage Any others that are an education...

Anchorage, of course, is the title of Michelle Shocked’s great song — one of her great songs. She writes to a childhood friend and the answer comes back from Anchorage: I’ve got a husband, two kids, a house . . . Anchorage: state of being anchored.
