Jennifer Forman Orth reminds us that now's the season for Western conifer seed bugs, which sort of look like a cross between a cockroach and a cricket, to begin invading homes in search of warmth:

... If you have encountered this insect pest before, you probably remember it best by the acrid, citrusy-smelling liquid it emits when startled. ...

Remember Tom Keane, city councilor? He's now Tom Keane, budding songwriter, and his latest work is an ode to that Quincy dominatrix who allegedly carved up a client after he died during a particularly strenuous, um, workout:

Try to remember it's bad to dismember,
When heatbeat's low and they turn yellow.
Try to remember it's bad to dismember,
When loud they scream and then to bellow. ...

Yes, there's more. Much more. If I were the downer sort, I might suggest that Tom not give up the day job just yet.
