    (Foreword: I know that it might not appear to be true from the looks of this post but I’m in a really good mood today.) My friend, Brad had a reading last Friday at a small bar in Manhattan. He sent me the invite about 2 months ago. And I looked forward to it. I…

    I had a hell of a morning. I left the house at 8:30 leaving myself plenty of time to get to Midtown and take a Post picture. I got on the L Train almost immediately. I was in the second to the last car. About five feet out of the Graham Avenue stop station, someone…

    We had a conversation on the back deck overlooking a great big lake surrounded by southern firs and humidity. The sun, as if shy from what it had done the night before, was just starting to show itself again. It was Thursday, the 5th day of our vacation. I was up before 7 AM, a…

    One year after September 11th, 2001, Salon published a rather controversial article called Forbidden Thoughts and Forbidden Letters where people anonymously wrote in and shared their thoughts no matter how bad they seemed. Some thoughts seemed so very harsh, others were disturbingly callous, and still others were bizarrely comical. That publication has stuck with me…

    When I first started running, I thought my heart would be my shortcoming. But the heart is easily beat into submission. It doesn’t really get much of a choice. It’s either going to work or it’s not. And if it breaks down, well, then it’s lights out for me. And at that point being able…

    We watched Freedomland last night. It’s another movie where Julianne Moore loses her mind and acts like a hysterical female. As I watched this last night, it occurred to me, yet again, that no other actress pulls off the crazy quite as well as Julianne Moore. Her plethora of crazy scenes immediately came flooding back…

    Usually when I sense something bad is about to happen it doesn’t. Yesterday, I left the house and immediately sensed that the things taking place around me were off (or on, depending on how you look at it). There had been a car wreck. It took place not minutes before I left the apartment. I…

    I work on 42nd Street and Madison. I have worked here for a little over a year. I’m not crazy about Midtown. Actually, I really can’t stand Midtown. The people are grumpier, yet they seem to be wealthier. It’s weird, Midtown. And even the bodegas, delis, and chain restaurants take note of the higher income…

    Tobyjoe and I headed to Nevada Smiths on Sunday to watch the England vs. Ecuador game. At 9 AM the upstairs bar was already full so we headed downstairs where there was more room. Soon, the downstairs was packed as well. We stood there for about an hour and a half watching people trickle in…
