Nappy Shoe Hair!
Funny thing about my being away from the computer, I have lost that habitual desire to update my Web site. Toby Joe and I have had the entire week off between Christmas and New Years. It’s been lovely to say the least. We watched a lot of movies. We consumed a massive amount of food.…

Oops! I Crapped My Pants.
I went to the gym today. Toby had some business to take care of at the Social Security office in downtown Brooklyn. I figured I’d drive him there and since there is a New York Sports Club in Park Slope I figured I’d take the opportunity and work out for an hour or so. And…

Glory Hole
My life has been thrown off because of the MTA strike. I haven’t had very much time to write. I get into work and have to hit the ground running. I left at five yesterday to try and see a little daylight on the way home. The ride home was much more frustrating than the…

MTA + TWU = NYC SOL
Well, they did it. At one subway booth, a handwritten sign read, ‘Strike in Effect. Station Closed. Happy Holidays!!!’ This is going to be one messed up Christmas here in New York City. And I have no idea what I’m supposed to do about getting to work. I could walk over the 59th Street Bridge…
