It’s autumn. Lehigh chases patches of sunlight from floor to the bed for their warmth, just as she sought out the cool of the bathroom tile in the summer. Last night was one of those last outbursts of New York street life where people go back to competing for outdoor tables, forgetting that just a… Continue Reading

Took some time off…
Can’t really tell you why it’s been such a long break, aside from a lot of things coming up at work. But that excuse is threadbare. “Some Velvet Morning” is playing and I’ve spent much of today recuperating from a long day at the office by grooving on the horn parts and eating peanut butter… Continue Reading
Reminder…
Packing for a trip, slipping into the new school year, trying and talking. It’s gotten noticeably colder this past week. Lehigh was up and hopping this morning, foiling my attempts to stay in a pleasant dream. A friend from long ago Wayne Zebzda came by work today: turns out he’s married to the college pal… Continue Reading
The bag, the tricks
For those who are wondering, here’s the new Friday the 13th tattoo. Looks to be healing up nicely. I was a little worried because it spent much of yesterday dangling in the Delaware River and out in the sunlight, but there seems to be little ill effect. I was out in the river because I… Continue Reading

As it is, I’m down in Asbury Park, at the new house of a friend, and in… Continue Reading

R’s been visiting and we’ve been prowling the city as much as the weather permits, which hasn’t been much. Still it’s very nice to be able to host in the newly cleared apartment. I’m hoping to have more friends over soon. Tags: daily photo, friends… Continue Reading
Hug like you mean it…
Leather Pride Night last night and Folsom Street East today. It’s the one time of the year when I feel most like I did living in San Francisco: part of a community of affection. In the past few years, the number of people I’ve gotten to know around the New York scene is such that… Continue Reading
Notes of a schvitzer…
Shower now? I suppose so. Boom, it’s New York Summer – with the New York dust and pollen on the attack. Grace Jones is telling me she just feels contempt when I cry. So part of me is transported all the way back to the early eighties before I could afford air conditioning, and drank… Continue Reading
Happy Birthday
To Dominic Vine, who has embarked on the adventure of home making. Love you, bud. Tags: birthday, friends… Continue Reading
It’s all fun ’til the mop breaks…
It’s been a big week for going out with friends, and reconnecting with the past. On Tuesday I saw Chris play, and while there ran into Sarah Schulman, Joe, who produced my project at BAM a dozen years ago, and CW, one of the members of my high school art nerd pack. Wednesday and Thursday… Continue Reading
