AM

It’s not the part where I have to dress myself, fly downstairs, hook her up, get the key and race her to the elevator so she can’t position herself to bang out a revenge pile.  This is my dog I’m talking about.  No that’s not the hard part....

Threading a Needle

Anyone over sixty try to do this lately?  Mother of God it’s impossible.  That Betsy Ross musta devoured a ton of carrots for lunch.  Interesting fact; carrots are a great source of beta-carotene which is good for eyesight.  But back to that Betsy, she was...

Couldn’t Wait for Summer

I can’t wait for Summer. I can’t wait for Summer. Well it’s here alright and I gotta ask you summer enthusiasts exactly what you were waiting for? The part where you get to walk the streets 90% naked? The part when you sweat so badly you stick to...

When Will it End?

If this photo excites you, it’s best you don’t read on.   If you’re appalled, let’s get down to business.   I am an American and I love my country even though I’m a Democrat.  Yes, we too are capable of being model citizens.  I (speaking...

Little Boy Lost

It’s rare that I stop and analyze the lyrics of a song.  Usually it’s a matter of latching onto a few hummable measures and repeating it inside my head until I get sick of it.  Annoying as hell when trying to fall asleep.  So this past week’s...

Fluffy Pillows

One of the more bizarre jobs I ever had was writing copy for thirty second radio ads.  I was living in South Florida for a couple of years, certainly not by choice.  While I hated every single facet of living there I loved the work.  I did a bang-up job on a...

Shopping Is Not A Hobby

When I grocery shop I make a list and stick to it.  There’s nothing to ponder regarding pork chops is there?  I occasionally check the sugar content on other stuff but it’s in everything so there’s no need to endlessly kvetch about it.  The only...

The Knicks

In case you haven’t heard, they’re on fire. Haven’t lost a game since April 23.  Haven’t lost in the post-season.  Haven’t gotten a ring in fifty five years. Can they sweep their way through the Finals too?   Now I can’t say...

Some Enchanted Evening

As the song goes, boy did I meet a stranger from across a crowded room.  The room was the lobby bar of the W Hotel.  The stranger was a middle aged woman named Rebecca and she was completely tanked.  If she had a fuel gauge on her forehand it would read FULL.   As the...

So You Think You Can Teach

I signed up with an agency a few years ago to be a substitute teacher. It’s pretty easy to manage. You go online the night before and see who’s out and it’s your choice to book the gig or not. It pays $175 per day and it gets me out of the house. Retirement isn’t...
