Got a brother-in-law in L.A. He was originally a singer and actor, but has moved on to get his Docorate in Psychology. None of this is all that unusual, except that his specialty is dream interpretation. He even had a short-lived TV show on SciFi channel interpreting people's dreams.

Now I understand that our dreams have meaning. Hell, all...   more »

I've been working occasionally as a corner worker-flagger at Monticello Motor Club (a private 4.1 mile road course nestled in the Catskills). It's been a gorgeous week there, what with the foliage turning and the air getting clear and crisp.

So for the past week, Bentley has had partial run of the place, for the month-long press-and-public intro of the ...   more »

Once again, back to the Garden.

I had business to attend to nearby and was done at 4:40, so I got to Bethel Woods early for the BB King and Buddy Guy show. I had 3 hours to kill, so I headed in to the museum. The museum chronicles much of the 60s and of course, the Woodstock festival. It ...   more »

So I was coming out of the movies the other night and stopped to go to the men's room. I looked down, and in the urinal was an un-popped kernel of popcorn.  I don't know why this occurred to me, but a I could think was, "That must have hurt."

About 10 years ago, my family and I used to spend a week or so on Cape Cod at the end of every summer. We usually rented a house in Chatham, about halfway out, on the outside of the elbow. About 35 miles farther out, at the very tip of Cape Cod, lies Provincetown, or in the local vernacular, P-town....   more »

As I once wrote in Lawn of the Dead, I’ve probably had about three good lawn days in the time I’ve lived in my current humble abode. Well, today, I can boast, is Day Four. And it’s all because of shit. Eh? You see, early last winter, a plumbing condition in my house developed in which when the upstairs....   more »

Without wanting to sound like I’m bragging on my own kid, my 17-year old son is gorgeous. Where he gets it from, well it’s gotta be his mother. While he’s not tall, certainly not “model tall,” he’s got a great body, fabulous hair and a classically handsome face.

Why am I telling you this? Well sure, I’m a parent, so ...   more »

Some things are great. The peak of human endeavor or creation. Michaelangelo’s David. Apollo 11. Stevie Ray Vaughn. Junior’s Cheesecake. My dog Izzy. My rib recipe.

Some things are terrible. Things that won’t kill you, but will lead to nothing but suffering. Domino’s pizza. Being a Jets, Mets, Knicks or Rangers fan. Kathy Griffin or Andy Dick. Reality TV. Country ...   more »

Living and loving all things natural (my affinity for Hostess Snowballs notwithstanding), we’ve had a nice wooden bird feeder hanging outside my dining room window, on a rope screwed into the soffit. Over the years, we’ve enjoyed visits from all sorts of avians, from nondescript sparrows to some brightly, beautifully plumed travelers. As with most bird feeders, the local squirrel ...   more »
