Biggest mistake of the weekend? Beginning to watch “Lost.” The Wife and I watched the first three episodes Saturday and Sunday. We’re hooked. I’m not sure how people can watch this with week-long breaks in between episodes. Perhaps the U S and A’s relaxed torture laws help make this possible. [...]
