Dan flat-out pleads for help
Hi, everyone. Help. As many of you know, I am living in LA at the moment. I have a fabulous brownstone in Park Slope, Brooklyn, which I’ve been subletting. As I’ll be out here for an indeterminate length of time, I’ve decided to keep subletting the place, at least for the next two months. The…

Dan’s mom is requesting some more tiny peanuts
My mom is not a scared person. She marches right through life telling life what to do, and does not suffer those who squirm and hem and ask time-wasting questions.
