There are 722* miles of subway track beneath (and partially above) New York City. Every weekday morning, Lisa Grover rides 3.5 of these miles from her apartment to her office. During this time, she thinks.

October 14, 2003: DUFF / KUROSAWA / HOLD ON TIGHT / KINGS COUNTY / DECIBELS / JACK & FONZIE / JUAN y MARIBEL

Sometime last summer**:MEMO TO NETWORK TV / TARTANS / "12" / HILTYS / SCORPIES / JEWEL / PHAIR




Lisa Grover is originally from Long Island, New York, but she tells people she's from Canada. She has two tattoos and, no, you cannot see them. She does not appreciate jokes about blue furry Muppets or President Cleveland.

Send love letters to Ms. Grover by pointing your mouse over these underscored, aqua-hued words, and clicking once, gently.





* To the best of our (admittedly lackluster) research. Ten seconds' worth of Googling yielded a dozen different figures. 722 sounded good enough. Plus, it's "227" backwards. Remember Jackée? Whatever happened to her? She was so sassy.

** The initial I.M.F.T.M.S.C. appeared previously in Soapbox, but nobody remembers exactly when, because Y.P.R. keeps poor records of dates and things. Other I.M.s can be found in the archives of Ms. Grover's blog, which she no longer maintains. Lucky for us.
