he just grinned and shook my hand and “no” was all he said – Robertson/Dylan So that Seth Rogen kid lost a ton of weight, which may not bode well for his comedic persona. While the formerly fat may register close to the naturally thin at weigh-ins, the resemblance often stops there. If you put […]

Positively Facebook
Monday, March 16, 2009
Bernard Madoff has 1,558 friends. What’s the deal with Facebook? I can’t claim total ignorance, as I registered on the site with neither picture nor profile at the prompting of an old work friend a while back. Then, a few months ago, another old acquaintance asked me to be her “friend” and when I returned […]

The best laid schemes o’ mice an’ men gang aft agley – Burns Pausing mid-run for the traffic light at Court and Atlantic on Sunday, I noticed a long line of folks outside the new Trader Joe’s store and suspected a sale on horseradish. But upon further inspection I saw that they were being broken […]
Holy Bosco, Batman

In this environment of collapsing world economic systems, Ben Roethlisberger being the new Joe Montana, and “He’s Just Not That Into You” being made in to a movie, it’s nice to find that some things can still bring a smile to your face. Such was the case with the above image from the SF Chronicle […]

well, you know, she still laughs with me but she waits just a second too long – John Prine Thought I’d pen a brief follow-up to my below post, as the Oscars have come and gone and it gives me the chance to wax philosophic, somewhat at my pal’s expense. Neither my friend Tom Myers […]
A Vote For Myers And The Mick
Thursday, February 12, 2009
The Academy Awards are coming up in less than two weeks and I’d be remiss in not acknowledging my buddy and ex Monaco Labs Print Department Manager Tom Myers, who’s up for an Oscar for Sound Mixing. No offense to Tom, but you didn’t have to be the Amazing Kreskin to see this one coming. […]
Splish-Splash, I Was Taking a Boff
Wednesday, February 4, 2009
I was twenty the first time I met Danny Szeto. I’d just dropped out of USC after a two year stint, gotten fat, and started working for my family’s company driving the delivery truck. It wasn’t where I wanted to be. Danny had already been at the company for a year, having migrated from his […]
New York City
Sunday, January 25, 2009
In keeping with recent themes, I present the above. It’s difficult to describe what comes to define different cities for different people. I snapped this digital photograph (top) somewhere south of 14th Street in 2005. I can’t even be sure about that date – but the somewhat vague location is accurate. There wasn’t much thought […]

I watched the inaugural yesterday. It was a decent show, and I’m waiting to find out exactly what “childish things” we’re going to be asked to put aside. I’m there for the new president, but if it means parting with my 1968 Nolan Ryan/Jerry Koosman rookie card he may have to go it alone. He […]
Sully?
Friday, January 16, 2009
There’s a big plane sitting in the water off Battery Park. It took off from La Guardia yesterday, blew out both engines hitting a flock of geese, and made an emergency landing in the Hudson River. And, oh yeah, all one hundred and fifty-five people on board survived. This is, of course, already old news. […]
