The answer to why I haven’t been posting. Old. Tired. Working.
Very, very busy week this – St Patrick’s Day, the beginning of March Madness, nuclear melt-down of Japan, the end of the Libyan rebellion while the West watches from a distance and the far right pulling funding for NPR because it said mean things about them (and – in turn – the continued, malignant impotence [...]
I am sitting here with a mostly empty wallet. Not just free of cash, but free of everything. It’s new – I bought it yesterday. My other wallet was stolen – on a Sunday – while I was at the gym with all the other people I usually always see at the gym. I lost [...]
And time marches on… I do love that every five years or so – the President’s Day holiday syncs with my birthday and I officially have the day off. So – this morning, after sleeping late, I have done a little light vacuuming and listened to Fado music from Portugal with my coffee. Later, transferring [...]
These are my words for you today: Buy DVDs. If you like movies or have a favorite TV show, purchase them. Today. Right now! Because the “powers that be” are starting to mess with your memories. First was the whole “colorization” thing, when Ted Turner decided no one wanted to watch black and white movies. [...]
No – I did not watch Obama’s State of the Union address last night. Nor the “rebuttals” afterward. Why? Because watching re-runs of “How I Met Your Mother” are better brain-food than all the lies and horseshit that gets spewed on these occassions. Face it – no one is telling us the truth. Therefore, I [...]
No – the Right didn’t cause the act. But what was all that noise during the campaign about then? The crosshairs, Angle calling for a “Second Amendment solution”, Palin telling everyone to “reload”, the calls for a revloution and the guy running against Giffords inviting folks to come down and shoot AK-47s. What was all [...]
Oh, wait… I mean SNOOOOWWW!!!!! Lots. And a wind that has not stopped howling for over 24 hours. The swirling has created a moat of clear ground around the house. See? Last night we were at a neighbor’s house watching movies and you could see NOTHING outside. And the snow drifted so badly it nearly [...]
What to say, what to say… Well, there are a number of things I could talk about, but those things involve others and work. Best to leave it alone. Let’s focus on the obvious: There are three more days before I can finally get rid of those boxes stuffed behind my desk at home. Very [...]
As I sit here trying to breathe and see the screen through tearing eyes, I am trying to understand why this happens every time I finish a show. Less than 48 hours after walking offstage from “Taking Sides” and my body is invaded by every germ in the vicinity. This always happens. I think it’s [...]
For this Friday morning, I needed to be uptown for a business breakfast. The boat landed around 8am. I started walking up 35th Street toward Park. The second block up is a park and there are benches along the sidewalk side of the park. Six dark green benches – no backs – spaced evenly apart. [...]
Tonight I am told we will meet Alec Baldwin. Or at least my wife will meet him, even if she has to spill a drink on him. I will be off to one side pretending to not know her (this is why I don’t go “Bruce stalking” with her). Tonight is “The Gala”, a grand [...]
