My Dinner with Barry

When you do something for almost every day for years and miss some days it’s hard to get back in the habit. That’s why I haven’t been writing. Most days I have simply been too busy. I leave for school every day around 6:40 AM. I get home around 4 PM. I then went out […]

Grant a Wish

Child: Nothing What are you idiot stories? On Thursday I got the key to my classroom. On Friday I forgot it. We keep it locked […]

Crohnsy Capitalism

No, I’m not dead, kidnapped, hospitalized, or abducted by aliens, I just haven’t blogged in days and days. I apologize. I had good reason for not blogging at the start. On Friday I was a daredevil. On the way home from my walk I bought corn on the cob from a pop up stand on […]

Madoc and Me

I’m once again trying to write while watching the Mets. This will happen more often as I start my new job. This is a tough Met game. They fell behind 4-0, tied it up, now just allowed a three-run-homer to fall behind 7-4, It’s only the fourth inning. Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to […]

Call Me Matt Murdoch

Mea Culpa, I’ve gotten terrible about updating. The last two days I found myself in the land of the lotus eaters for hours in the morning, the hypnopompia. This is why I have never used drugs; I have an addictive personality. It is so pleasant that I can’t tear myself away. I’m on a run […]

4D Acres and a Mule

This week is off to a good start. Sunday night The Mets beat the Padres 8-5, breaking out of their scoring slump. They did this to make me look brilliant; Met manager Buck Showalter finally took my advice and started Guillorme over the totally hapless Escobar and inserted the newest Met, Vogelbach in as DH. […]

Aurora Saxealis.

Yesterday I celebrated my birthday. Considering the heat, doing anything in a timely manner was beyond the call of duty. The real reason it was late was that yesterday there was a concert to go to, Aurora Nealand at Sunny’s in Brooklyn. Why have I never written about Aurora despite the great name? It’s even […]

Thor: Mensches and Nishgutnicks.

 I’m 65 years old now you’d think I’ve have learned to get myself to blog every day, yet somehow, I have lost that ability I used to have. Is this an effect of aging? This need to be studied. Who should I apply to for the research grant? Let’s go back to the distant past, […]
