The blizzard has subsided. Our street has not yet been plowed, because it’s Brooklyn. So it’s quicker to trudge down the center of the street than to try to negotiate the sidewalks. At least the snow in the middle is somewhat packed down. Lehigh is struggling through drifts. I’ve been coaxing her into these orange… Continue Reading

The High Life…
Lehigh gets a cab ride, and is mostly unimpressed. She’s been with my mom for almost a month. I’m happy to have her back home. Tags: daily photo, lehigh

Lehigh was full of beans this morning: rolling, tugging, snorting. I had an excellent cup of the coffee that D-L brought me from the Mission and had sufficient hot water for the shower. Allergies were under control on the morning walk, and I made it to work in time for my meeting. So life, as… Continue Reading
Look out…
Lehigh’s back home. And taking her rightful place on the bed. Yesterday I was awoken by three friends and a birthday cake of astonishing artistry, now I have to contemplate the prospect of eating most of a layer cake. Must invite more company over! As much as Lehigh wants to help, it’s a chocolate cake,… Continue Reading

Of the foodal variety. No turkey today at my family dinner, but here’s the pumpkin cheese cake my aunt made. My sister was the main artiste, producing a savory bread pudding with kale, fall off the bone roast lamb, Brussels sprouts, potatoes and even a batch of luscious Parmesan and butter biscuits, made she said,… Continue Reading
This is the look that says: “Take me out, you lazy, lazy sod”…
It’s clear and warm in Brooklyn. I’m going to go out in it (again) in a little while. Got to soak up any autumnal pleasantness as I find it. For the first time in many days I’m not waking up with an immediate deadline or meeting hanging over my head. What lightness! Last night I… Continue Reading
The big E’s inside of you and me…
I know it’s wrong to question good fortune, so I won’t. For some reason Amazon is giving away MP3s of just about all of Mojo Nixon’s music. Yep he could easily be classed an ’80′s one hit wonder, but there’s something great about all of his crackpot bitter rants that make this a very good… Continue Reading

Sit in the dark. Then go out in the dark.
Sweaty around the house today as well as outside of it. Spent most of it indoors until I heeded the siren call of the cinema and went off to see You, the Living with Thor, Ed, and Jeff. Delicious deadpan Swedes, shot in a 1970′s christmas candy color scheme. Some of the best thunder you’ll… Continue Reading
More from Myrtle Beach…
One evening during the trip to see Dad, we went to “the Nation’s Largest Gift Shop” aka The Gay Dolphin and while they had many, many delightful things, all displayed in this same vertiginous manner, I had the same experience I’ve had for most of my life: The section isn’t quite in the frame, but… Continue Reading
