I have been in a bit of haze. Will the government shut down? I am not too sure that many people care as to whether the government shuts down. It is not like they do much anyway. 1. Duct-tape bandits. Do you remember when US Homeland Security Secretary […]
The New York City primary election is over, although we still have no definitive winner. Everyone knows Deblasio has this, but Thompson is being a stick in the mud. That’s ok, for this is democracy in action. I will tell you what, though. We miss Weiner and his […]
The doors to the commuter train are jammed up again, the bells are ringing and we are not moving. Sigh. It’s hot. It is 6pm and the work day has been long and brutal. The train staff start speaking to each other over the PA system. It is […]

On a whim, close to a year ago, I decided to start a blog. I started it as a practice run for a then upcoming work assignment. I have always been a storyteller but I didn’t know about this blog thing. It seemed vaguely exhibitionist-like and that it […]
New Yorkers tend to be a tad bit on the jaded side. Seen that. Been there. Done that. When superstorm Sandy hit, it was a bit overwhelming because we hadn’t fully bought into the weather hype. Nature was unimpressed by this. The ocean, comprising 70% of the planet’s […]
