    Greetings from Slush City, where there's a puddle on every corner..."Bad
hair day at FedEx" is in this week's Village Voice...A story about a proposed
Museum of Sex (mosex.org) was in the NY Times.  I e-mailed the essential NYC
"hooker" info, with no response back...A new Police Museum opened.  They
still don't know what "New York's Finest" means...A Harper's article this
month about Rick Burns's New York documentary begins with a mention of "the
Big Apple"...I think this is all a plot to drive me crazy.
