As we surely know by now by the incessant playing on the radio of “Santa Claus is coming to town” and by the 101 daily “today only sale” emails from Macy’s Christmas is coming on fast and furiously and tons of new items are being bought. Amazon thinks […]
I grew up reading about ten books a week. My mom would head over to the library and just take out book upon book for me. It was a nice way to escape the world. It was a nice way to escape the craziness of the South Bronx, […]
Happy wacky holidays to all and to all a good week.
