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 the juice my son left in a 46 oz. apple juice container earlier tonight. My younger daughter went into the refrigerator to get a drink and found this sitting on the shelf. I don’t know whether to laugh, get mad, or be thankful […]
This is a view of an adult bookstore I drove by earlier today in Norwalk, CT. I swear that I didn’t stop in and browse. I was sitting at a stop light, noticed this dreary, depressing store on my right and it got me thinking about a few […]
This is a view of a car I saw in the parking lot of a convenience store in Kirkwood, NY the other day. I had stopped to get my usual mid-afternoon cup of coffee and saw this contraption as I pulled out of the parking lot. I had […]
This is a view of rolled-up bills I found in the pocket of my pants this morning when I went to iron them before work. I swear I don’t have a cocaine problem. This bugged me out for a few seconds. I am usually very good about keeping […]
This is a view of a DVD of, quite possibly, my favorite Guilty Pleasure movie. I’m embarrassed to even type that sentence. It has been sitting in my apartment and it caught my eye a few minutes ago. Yes, Mystery Date, the long-forgotten semi-dark romantic comedy from 1991, […]
This is a view of the New Meadowlands Stadium in East Rutherford, NJ on Interstate 95 Northbound earlier this afternoon with a bit of a nostalgic tint to it. I assure you, with the heavy traffic, I wasn’t moving. As far back as I can remember, I’ve been […]
This is a view of my Father’s Day. I’m a lucky Dad.
This is a view of two of my children playing Ladder Ball this brilliant, sunny afternoon at Cole Park outside of Binghamton, NY. My family and I attended a party for my daughter’s boyfriend’s high school graduation. He couldn’t have picked a better day to have a party […]
This is a view of the contents of my neighbor’s recycling bin this morning. Friday is garbage day in the village of Windsor, NY. Someone’s packing some serious heat up in here. I’ll refrain from saying whether or not I have any guns in my house, in case […]
This is a view of the Fireman’s Phone Jack in the stairwell of my apartment complex in Stamford, CT at lunchtime today. Notice the cigarette butt sitting on top of the box. I don’t smoke, but I also don’t care if other people do. To each his own. […]
