About Me
Hank Kalet is online editor for the Princeton Packet newspaper group. He is a published poet, and has been a reporter and editor with the Packet Group since 1990. His column, "Dispatches," appears weekly in Packet Group newspapers and he writes a semi-monthly column for the Progressive Populist. He is a lifelong fan of the New York Mets and New York Knicks, drinks too much coffee and attends as many Bruce Springsteen concerts as his meager finances will allow. He lives in South Brunswick with his wife Annie.
Why does the color blue mean raspberry-flavored?
Because the flavor-masters have been taking psychotropic drugs.
