I write sometimes. Sometimes people read what I write, but not often.
I like to smell everything in Yankee Candle and pretend I'm traveling to far off lands. I don't like too many "nah nah's" in songs. I like my coffee black.
I recorded a solo album in 1998 with 9 original songs and a cover of "She Came in Through the Bathroom Window" because I knew the chords. Hardly anyone has heard it.
This is a view of our new cat. She’s about 5 weeks old and she’s a girl. She doesn’t have a name yet because we can’t decide what to name her. But just look at that face and tell me you don’t want to squeeze her. I mean, […]
This is a view of the 2012 Fiat 500 from earlier today. Just when I thought the Smart Car, made by the French and Germans, was going to die a quick and painless death, the Italians had to go and try to one-up them. Damn Europeans. Merde! (that […]
This is a view of the earthquake button in the elevator of the hotel I stayed at in San Diego this week. This time I am not concentrating my focus on the fireman’s helmet button on the right. No, I’m focusing my laser beam right on the “Earthquake” […]
This is a view of a Bacon Double Cheeseburger Basket from Hodad’s in San Diego, CA (Ocean Beach, to be more specific) that I devoured yesterday. If there were a contest to determine the best burger in America where I was judge and jury, there would be no […]
This is a view of a San Francisco Giants fan at last night’s Giants vs. Padres game from lovely Petco Park in gorgeous and beautiful San Diego, CA. Like The Skippers clam chowder, San Diego has proclaimed itself “America’s Finest City”. It’s hard for me to disagree. My […]
This is a view of a fire hydrant I saw at lunchtime today somewhere in Stamford, CT. Part of me doesn’t want to say where I saw this so I don’t rat anyone out, but another part of me feels like I should be a good citizen and […]
This is a view of the funniest thing I saw all day. It was a slow day, but even on an exciting day, this picture would’ve made me laugh. It’s how my mind works. Today was my first day back to work from vacation. I came back to […]
This is a view of exactly what I was looking for once I knew we were going to Cape Cod as part of our summer vacation. A classic seafood house right on the water with the second-floor open-air deck overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. Just one fisherman’s platter with […]
This is a view of the beauty and splendor that is Atlantic City, NJ on the 4th of July. It is a veritable oasis of money being won and lost, dreams being made and destroyed, and seagulls shitting on people carousing on the boardwalk, all while neatly tucked […]
This is a view of the best and worst of America, which I saw in the supermarket yesterday, packaged neatly in a Ruffles potato chip bag. This is a real thing. Really. As we spend this holiday weekend celebrating the 235th anniversary of this great land by doing […]
