THE EMPIRE OF ADAM:     HOME  :  ALL COLUMNS  :  ALL PROJECTS  :  CONTACT ADAM

A native of Elkins Park, PA, Adam Kraemer spends way too much of his time repeating "K-R-A-E..." He moved to New York City in 1998 and earned Master's in Journalism at NYU; don't let his writing fool you. He feels he is best known for saying the things no one is thinking, but afterwards wish they had been. He spends his free time wondering where all his free time goes and why he can never come up with a decent kicker for the ends of his articles.

(As a relevant aside, my mom's obstetrician named my brother. In 1977, upon announcing that my mom was pregnant, he further added that the baby would be a boy and he would be named "Brett Andrew." My parents' response: "Thanks. We'll keep that in mind," which ...
