If you're hosting Thanksgiving for the first time, we'd like to invite you to be our guest. Let the Bryant Park Project help you calculate the cooking time for your turkey, find the right spot for a dessert spoon, rescue a gravy gone bad. We're taking volunteers on our blog.
Also on the blog, the glory that is ice maintenance. Meet Ron Kraut, America's Next Top Zamboni driver. Just hit play and the miracle on ice will unfold. Seriously.
And we're taking a moral pause for the incredibly sad, unspeakably awful case of Megan Meier. Last year, Megan had a falling out with a girl in her suburban St. Louis neighborhood. The girl's parents created a fake suitor on MySpace, and had him cozy up to Megan for about six weeks before turning on her, calling her fat and a slut and telling her the world would be a better place without her.
Megan killed herself. And the neighbor girl's parents are under siege now that bloggers have outed them as the perpetrators of the fatal hoax. We're speechless, so we invite your comments.
