    This weekend Charlie and his wife, Kerry, came down from Buffalo to see the Gates and even more importantly, to have dinner with Toby Joe and me^ Many people reading this might know him as “GotJesus”. I’m not even sure where that name came from originally, but he’s been posting as GotJesus since as long…

    Sometimes, life is weird. Last year, I was dreaming about moving back to New York. Now, I actually live in New York, after having moved from DC to San Francisco and then back to New York again. Who would have placed money down on that scenario? Not me. No way.

    Last night, I ventured out to see Kevin Devine at South Paw in Park Slope. While I was watching him play, after having just consumed a meal made up entirely of sushi and chasing that with a glass of dry white wine, I imagined writing something spectacular about his music and the show. I imagined…

    Lately, Toby and I have been meeting after work at the New York Sports Club on 14th street and 6th avenue. Justifying the cost of the NYSC membership means having to attend often. And today, I can barely move. I feel as though someone beat me with a sack of oranges. Twice. My ass hurts,…

    For Christmas this year, Melissa and my brother got us a gift certificate to Williams-Sonoma. I love Williams-Sonoma. Every year, they make hundreds of dollars off of me. Last year, I got Toby four Henckel knives. This year, we got my parents a Waffle Iron. For Toby’s birthday this year I got him an All-Clad…

    A few days ago I wrote a long post about how much I love my New York Times. On the same day I compared the New York Times to being my nighttime mistress, someone began to steal the bloody newspaper from our front porch. Yesterday, I got up early and crept downstairs in my pajamas.…

    P.S. Yes, I had heard of Al Jazeer. No, I didn’t know much about them outside of the media telling me how evil they are. Tho, if people keep stealing my New York Times, I might soon become a more ignorant fool. (Thieving bastard.) Incidentally, is there any way one can watch Al Jazeer in…

    (If a woman keeps a mistress is it then called a “Mister” because I’m not keeping a lady. Come to think of it, I’m not even keeping a man.) The New York Times has become my evening lover. After Toby gets home and we settle in beneath our blankets on our couches, I read the…

    Yesterday, while Toby was diligently finishing up his PHP 5 book (which, as of today should be complete and we can now move on with our lives) I decided to leave him alone for a few hours and see a movie. I decided on Sideways. Let me first start by saying that going to see…
