The reincarnated Boring File is a month old today. During that month, it has been published 26 times and the page has been called up several hundred times by people other than me. Most of those page "hits," I suspect, were on purpose, although some people must have wandered in here by accident, said "What is this crap?" and scooted right back out. I certainly didn't start this blog to make money, and that's a good thing. You remember Dialing for Dollars? Well, this is Blogging for Bupkes. In any event, I may continue a while longer in hopes of attracting more readers. Can't understand why everyone doesn't want to read incoherent, yawn-inducing ramblings.

Watching "Last Chance Harvey" starring Dustin Hoffman, it dawned on me that several male stars like Hoffman, Tom Cruise, Michael J. Fox and Alan Ladd are, or were , short guys. Maybe it's a compensation thing: Because of their small stature, they worked extra hard to reach great heights in their profession.
*
The aforementioned Alan Ladd was so short (about 5 foot 5) that movie sets were scaled down to make him look taller.
*
And the aforementioned Michael J. Fox rates high on my list of good guys. Watch his TV special Thursday night to see what I mean.

It's puzzlement time. The name of which pasta means "little tongues"? (Answer Thursday.)

Anna Quindlen, I will miss your Newsweek columns.
