Weekend Checklist: Jan. 9-10, 2008

Now is the hour of lead. We are officially in the dog days of winter, those minutes and weeks that ooze out of our lives like, well, like molasses in January. But within these lonesome little twin crystals of frost, there's plenty of windblown embers by which to warm your ears. It may be a bit leaner than most weekends, but it's lean muscle mass. Between the lines, there's more than enough to read. Enjoy!

Jeremy Messersmith, always picturesque, plays the Entry this Saturday.
