I crammed to get caught up in about a month before season 5. This is another example of my wife’s great taste steering me right. I’m pretty sure Mad Men was on the now-defunct spite list.

I love the development of Harry’s character. But then, I like Pete Campbell too. They are both asses, but I can relate.

Are you a recent Mad Men convert? This is one of the rare TV shows where I hopped on the bandwagon pretty early, but only because a friend of mine was all “you have to watch this new show. You’ll love it.”

I kind of wish I’d known that at the time too, even though I am totally anti-Harry this season. He’s being a total ass.

Also – I read somewhere that the guy who plays Harry Crane used to have a blog on Vox. I wish (a) I’d known that at the time and (b) I’d started watching Mad Men earlier.

She has great taste in everything. I have no idea how she ended up with me.

Wow, your wife has really good taste in books. I can’t say the same for her taste in men. Really, The Giant’s House is one of my top five all-time favorite books. It holds up and holds up and holds up, even after nearly 20 years.

I actually have a copy of Sterling’s Gold floating around here somewhere. I’m going to find it and read it!
