Quick Note Before Heading Home

Friday, August 31, 2007

I am heading home after seeing the NY Neo-Futurists. I love them. I cannot help it. They deliver something special when they start their timer and deliver their plays. Sincerity, generosity, compassion…tonight was a perfect example of the qualities I love most about their shows.
I’m moving to Williamsburg…that is, I have moved, and the process […]

Matty Charles
 

Jake Armerding
 
I love it when I take the right turn instead of the wrong one. I didn’t get out today because I didn’t feel like it. That simple, actually. If I could have dealt with laying on the couch, I would have done that. But I did vow to get off my ass and […]

“…no indication of any connection to terrorism…”
These seem to be the words we’ll be hearing every time something awful happens now that we live in the age of the global war on terror. Law enforcement, the military, and the press all seem to be in on the same game. There have been many terrible events […]

Bullet Points are Better Than Bullets

Thursday, August 2, 2007

I finished reading T.C. Boyle’s latest book “Talk Talk” riding home on the A train yesterday. I have been a fan of Boyle’s since I read his first novel “Water Music” a quarter century ago. “Water Music” is bold and brilliant. “Talk Talk” is razor-sharp and tough-as-nails. Boyle is a master […]

Goodnight, New York, Goodnight

Thursday, July 5, 2007

When I moved to New York City three years ago, I had little in mind other than to disappear. My wife Siri died in April 2003 and I spent the following year trying to kill myself indirectly via substance abuse and then cleaning up my act by going sober. In February 2004 a friend of […]

Walt Whitman and the Fourth of July

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

Whitman resided here at 99 Ryerson Street, Brooklyn, NY in 1855 when LEAVES OF GRASS was published on July 4th.
I decided to continue my walk this rainy evening to the river. I joined the gathering crowd and enjoyed the fireworks show.

Leaves of Grass

Wednesday, July 4, 2007

I’m taking a walk to visit 99 Ryerson Street. It’s an unremarkable structure that housed a remarkable man. Walt Whitman lived there when LEAVES OF GRASS was published on July 4, 1855. Call it a pilgrimage; I’ll take a picture.
