Eat Me Bailey!
Last night Tobyjoe and I headed to BAM (Brooklyn Academy of Music) to see an interview with Jonathan Lethem. The night was fantastic. We ran into Mia and Charles which was a pleasant surprise as Mia had said she wasn’t planning on going. We sat with them and sipped wine (maybe a little too much…

Friends. How Many Of Us Have Them?
Yes, I totally just quoted a Whodini song. Yesterday, was a really, really rough day for me. My head was all over the place. I wasn’t very pleasant to be around. I certainly wasn’t very pleasant to know. It sucked. I sucked. I should bury my head in the sand instead of attempting the social…

What’s Your Cause?
Something that has always bothered me, something I haven’t ever understood is during a court case when the prosecutor (or defendant) makes a statement that is clearly hurtful to the other side and the judge then asks the jury to disregard the information. Clearly, that’s impossible. And I know it’s a tactic used just so.…

And Now For Today’s Fleeting Idea…
This morning, I left the house early in hopes of having the car inspected at Lorenzutti Motors in downtown Brooklyn. I figured I have a better chance with them, as they’re the folks who have taken care of the car for years now. The more and more Tobyjoe and I thought about our meeting with…

Sick Day
I’ve been battling something in my head. The right side of my face, neck, and cranium hurts. I’m not sure what’s going on. And nearly every time I work out, it throbs with pain. On Saturday, Tobyjoe had to take care of me at the gym. The pain was bad enough to make me nauseous.…

Click the image to see a few more. It’s so cold in Brooklyn, my car door and its lock is frozen shut. Thank goodness tomorrow is a holiday and same-side parking is suspended. I think today I will make rye bread. My hopes is to perfect it for my father. (The man lives for a…

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…

Crash 17. (X-Rated Car. X-Rated for Violence.)
On Monday, my commute was particularly awful. For those of you who are living outside of New York City, we’re days away from facing a transit-wide strike. Which would pretty much cripple the city. It’d be like taking away a New Yorker’s sight for a few hours each day. I would have no real way…
