The blue moon shone brightly on the Blue Line. The only other blue that night was the bruise forming over most of my torso.

Robbie the Rhino had gotten reacquainted with me earlier in the evening, by way of a tire iron. I had gotten reacquainted with Mr. Pain.

I came to in the subway. A broad was standing over me, acting like she'd never seen a human pancake before. I lay there, doing my impersonation of Aunt Jemimah's best.

"You okay, Mister?"

"Feelin' as good as Pearl Harbor, circa 1941, lady."

"Well don't get mad at me about it. I'm not the one who plays with gorillas and rides the stairs for fun," she snapped.

"Hey, relax, just give me a minute to find my tact. I think it fell down in the tracks somewhere."

This story could go on...and it does. But to hear the rest you'll have to tune into CBS Radio Dramas. And, uh, forget the beginning of the story and make sure you pay attention to what they actually say.

Regardless, much more of substance coming soon. Reagan aides-de-camp, why kids love to beat the crap out of Spiderman, the job that everyone wants to dodge taxes, stolen mini-fridges and found longboards. It's all coming up on a re-invigorated Doughty Traveler and more. Don't miss a beat: be sure to stop by every six months or so.

Until then, I'll leave you with some words of wisdom...

"What game did all the litte Athenians love to play in the pool?"

"Polemarch-o Polo."
