		<description><![CDATA[A lot of people publicly insist that they &#8220;have no problem&#8221; with groups of people that are different from themselves&#8230; and then their very protests make it clear how much of a problem they really have. There&#8217;s a very powerful difference between tolerating people and actually accepting them.

The film that lured me was Cabin in the Woods by Joss Whedon, and it was absolutely worth the time and money. It was also a complete surprise, in several ways.

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve seen a string of musicals based on popular films lately, and they&#8217;ve been a real mixed bag. So it was with some apprehension that I went to see &#8220;Once&#8221; on Broadway recently. It turned out to be wonderful. A truly moving theatrical experience. You can&#8217;t blame me for being skeptical&#8230; Let&#8217;s review the last [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gatoruptown.com&#038;blog=4230609&#038;post=7528&#038;subd=gatoruptown&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Yes, I admit: yesterday&#8217;s &#8220;Accepting Reality&#8221; post was an April Fool&#8217;s Day prank. But like most good fiction, it has it&#8217;s foundation in some unfortunate truth. But then, this shouldn&#8217;t really be much of a surprise to frequent readers. I love living in New York, but I&#8217;ve written several times about how it&#8217;s not all [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gatoruptown.com&#038;blog=4230609&#038;post=7516&#038;subd=gatoruptown&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This weekend, I sat down with Sal and we looked at our expenses and income over the last six months. And the unfortunate reality is, we just can&#8217;t afford to live in New York. At least, I can&#8217;t afford to live here. Moving from Charlotte was expensive, yes, particularly when you consider the U-Haul and [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gatoruptown.com&#038;blog=4230609&#038;post=7514&#038;subd=gatoruptown&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>

Well, I&#8217;ve seen the show, and I&#8217;m here to tell you about it. I&#8217;m glad they brought it to the stage, but they never should have made it a musical. The story held completely true to the film.

		<description><![CDATA[Living in one of the &#8220;other boroughs&#8221; of New York City (meaning, not Manhattan) has some clear advantages: lower rent, larger living spaces, cheaper food, etc. One downside is that taxis sometimes refuse to take you home from Manhattan, which is actually illegal. Fortunately there&#8217;s a nifty little tool for reporting taxis, which I&#8217;m delighted [...]<img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=gatoruptown.com&#038;blog=4230609&#038;post=7446&#038;subd=gatoruptown&#038;ref=&#038;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
