I sometimes look into the darkness To see what tragedy I might catch I stare trying to make out a form But all I catch are scurrying rats I go in and out of the darkness Sometimes seeing my reflection I follow the flickering orange lights That shield […]
A while ago I pondered what was worse: a dentist visit, ob-gyn visit, or an MRI. Many opined noting that they considered the dentist was worse. Way worse. I can under I mean no disrespect to dentists. I know many and most are very nice people. Just like […]
I do not drive. Have never really felt the need to despite living in 20 cities. While I was an oddity in Los Angeles, here in New York I’m perfectly normal. And, that is how I like it. I do like riding in cars. I love singing in […]
Children are cute and cuddly and warm. Wait, that’s dogs. Well, maybe kids too. I tease my tween son all the time about his cuddle-factor. He grunts at me when I tease. Yet, he is still cute. Honestly, not much that he can do that would not lead […]

I will admit that many years ago, before I worked out, I didn’t wipe fown. I felt tough, strong, and invincible. Obviously, I was stupid. There I said it. I would often wipe it down after using it but not before. How does that make sense? It doesn’t. […]
I’m of the mindset that there should be more rooftop fun. I know that sounds like a very weird declarative statement. Who, after all, goes around saying more fun needs to be had on a roof. I think many New Yorkers would agree. And, I don’t just mean […]
