I just finished a two-thousand word piece on the #1 urban myth in Los Angeles. Which is the most use I’ve gotten out of what I learned in my history degree since I graduated in 2003.

My entry won’t go live until 3:15pm tomorrow. But in the meantime, the rest of the legends (including the other two I wrote) are here:

Also, I can still crank out an eight page paper (12 point Times Roman, double-spaced) in three hours. I haven’t lost that skill.
