I am following the story of the murder of Annie Le in the news and I can’t help thinking of the predatory wolf in the the Brother’s Grimm tale “Little Red Riding Hood”.

I was walking through Fulton Mall after dropping off My Kid at school. I went into a store where I noticed some crazy clothes that might be right for the show. I still don’t have my full costume. When I got home, I tried it on under the purple dress and it didn’t quite work [...]
