Well, since my last post, it hasn’t quite been boils, fell beasts and death– but there have been a vari­ety of dra­mas and ail­ments.  To acknowl­edge the hard times of late, my Bet­ter Half bought me a present on what was– for me– not a Good Fri­day at all.
Pics, ’cause it hap­pened.
But wait.  There is more.  […]

I mean… look at him.  Do I even need to add words?
He’s teething, and yet he was soooo good when I walked him around the block a few times while his Mom was get­ting her back cracked.  He’s so smi­ley and … gah.  Just adorable.  (Although, not hav­ing to change his dia­per and his actu­ally eating […]

Here’s a piece in the NYT about the seltzer deliv­ery­man of Brook­lyn, who fell and hurt him­self, depriv­ing two hun­dred cus­tomers of actual hand-pushed seltzer, com­plete in antique seltzer con­tain­ers.  And this is why I love the NYT, even when some­times their slip in edi­to­r­ial stan­dards sends me, weep­ing and click­ing, to the Guardian.co.uk site.  […]

I got the job.  I start Mon­day.  And I’m ridicu­lously excited about it, and not just because of those two lovely words, Employee Dis­count.

I wanted to use the Yid­dish term Bubbe yes­ter­day– when I googled it, this was the num­ber one page-ranked result– an actual guy’s Bubbe, giv­ing lessons in kosher cui­sine on You Tube. (Teh You Tubes for you younger kids.) I haven’t watched it all the way through, but it just kills me in […]

This is a movie review– of sorts.  It’s also some­what sur­real– Magritte’s Treach­ery of Images, except instead of this not being a blog post or a movie review, ceci n’est pas ma vie, my life.  At least it’s not the life that I want.
I’ve got about five drafts of this post started, all put­ter­ing out.  Much […]

It’s Gay Pride week­end here in Boston– today was the parade and tomorrow’s the AIDS Walk.  The sec­tion of Boston we live in has a nice share of gay and les­bian res­i­dents and all day today we’ve seen peo­ple in super­hero and other rain­bow col­ored cos­tumes walk­ing down our street to the T Sta­tion.  As […]

I was brows­ing at the shrine to the “Twi­light” vam­pire series at one the down­town chain book­store that has a decent sci-fi/fantasy and poetry sec­tion and observed the after­math of the Harry Pot­ter books.  I’ve never read these books, but I see peo­ple of all dif­fer­ent ages and social groups read­ing them on the train […]
