Hey Valentine, can I get some grease with that?

White Castle hamburger

Strapped for cash on the big V-Day? Not to worry! White Castle is offering “an unforgettable evening” for all you lovers—candlelight, flowers, table service, even complimentary digital photos included with your sack o’ sliders. (Sack Meal No. 3—10 sliders, 2 sodas, and 2 fries—will run you less than $11!) Now that’s what I call Recession Romance.

If you’re a real mensch, get your honey-bunch a customized White Castle tee to commemorate the event. Because nothing says I love you like having something comfy to wear when you’re curled up on the bathroom floor all day on February 15.

    About Me

    Once upon a time I was the managing editor at an irreverent and scrappy magazine called Radar. My claim to fame there included quenching a near deadly wastebasket fire, always ordering enough pizzas for the whole team, and making sure the copy was clean and sparkling.

    Before that, I got around as a freelancer, working for such varied companies as Reader's Digest, Rodale, McKinsey & Company, and US News & World Report, in roles that included writing, editing, researching, and "making the trains run on time."

    When Radar folded at the end of October 2008, I found myself at OK! magazine, a tabloid weekly famous for spending a lot of money on Jamie Lynn Spears' baby photos and having the greatest staff turnover since the Titanic. (I became a casualty of the May '09 round of layoffs, but lived to blog about the tale.)

    I'm now back in the freelance arena, plying my trade—and 10 years of experience—to the highest (or lowest. Or any) bidder, making do with a little less day-by-day, and wondering how this great publishing apocalypse is going to shake out in the end.

    My bet is on content.
