There’s a brand of subway movie poster defacement, particular to this city, which I very much enjoy. It isn’t as overtly political as some I’ve observed in San Francisco, and cuts to the chase rather nicely. Here we see an advertisement for the new Ron Howard film – reason alone to go at it. Vince […]

Double Cross Punica
Wednesday, January 12, 2011
..to an undercover cop who had a sister named Jan – Lucky Wilbury Tuesday morning and I’m back from the holidays in California, scaling the steps at Borough Hall just off the 5 from Grand Central and elevating in to the chilled Brooklyn air. A vendor’s cart with stacked pomegranates comes in to distant focus […]
Christmas In New York
Saturday, December 11, 2010
Recorded this the other night on my cell phone before heading down to the train platform. I’m not sure why I’ve hung around this city as long as I have, but these forty-four seconds might hold a few clues.
Wiki Shuffle
Tuesday, December 7, 2010
The Internet? Is that thing still around? – Homer Simpson I’m kind of fuzzy on this WikiLeaks deal, and suspect that this puts me squarely in the middle of a large section of the population. The website publishes previously unseen documents gathered from anonymous news sources and leaks – some of which, while not disputed […]

Lisa, if you don’t like your job you don’t strike. You just go in every day and do it really half-assed. That’s the American way. – Homer Simpson The Italian military – or some branch thereof – is on strike. I garnered this information last night from the BBC News. Sometimes I like to expand […]
Down By The River

stayed in Mississippi a day too long – Dylan There’s a mouse in the house again, which is as good a place to jump in as any. I’ve been thinking about writing lately, while reading Deliverance for the first time since college. Watched the film again too, and it poses the interesting dilemma of how […]

We come on the Sloop John B My grandfather and me .. – West Indies Traditional I was going to write something yesterday, after Madison Bumgarner’s pitching gem put the Giants one game away from their first San Francisco championship. I was going to say that, looking back on it, October 31st of my 21st […]
Dancing With Myself
Sunday, October 24, 2010
There was this woman, Barbara. I’ve mentioned her before, somewhere in the vast archives of this blog. Tough old broad, veterinarian, didn’t talk much, sat next to me for several full Giants seasons back in the 80s. During a brief lull in the ’87 playoffs, sometime after Mike Krukow pitched a gem and before the […]
Four For Five
Thursday, October 21, 2010
Ask any long-time Giants or Cubs fan and they’ll tell you that it indeed ain’t over ’til it’s over. They won’t be using the quote in its original Yogi Berra “we’ve got a lot of fight left in us” sense, though. It will instead be uttered with memories of the likes of Bobby Richardson and […]
The Kid Gets It Done
Friday, October 8, 2010
I splurged on Thursday night in reverence of the Giants being in the playoffs, and ponied up ten bucks for a subscription to MLB Network’s post season Internet package. These games are already being televised on TBS, but it’s good to have a distraction from Dick Stockton’s head in high def, looking like some kind […]
