tête-à-tête

“Yeah. But you can’t listen to them. They’re a drug addict.” “Who says you can’t listen to drug addicts? Some drug addicts are smart.” “Like who?” “Freud was a cocaine addict. Carl Sagan was a pot head. Hemingway was an alcoholic, along with pretty much every other writer. The Beatles did a lot of preaching

Blogger Beware
July 14, 2025
A few months ago, I got a threatening email about my use of a licensed image. The internet is really the wild west of copyright to some extent. I had once before accidentally used a copyrighted image. The owner messaged me, I took it down, and that was that. This here personal blog I’ve been

It was a quiet, hot weekend in Astoria, Queens. Summer wasn’t just in the air, it was the air. Gardens tended to by neighbors flourished with color and floral smells. A drastic and welcomed contrast to Manhattan that would, from now until September, reek of piss. Until Labor Day, all roads to eastern Long Island

Don’t Kill the Tomboy
June 27, 2025
Look. For the record, I do not care what your pronouns are. I care so little, I don’t want to know, and if you tell me, there is a likelihood I’ll still get them wrong not because I want to insult you (if I wanted to insult, you would know, I write insult

June 17, 2025
While exploring ruins in Italy on with my cane with my broken foot, I got nods from a number of people who were impressed about how I got well I was getting around despite my injury. There were plenty of not crippled people exhausted and complaining about walking. And then I’d shuffle by them, quietly

All Roads Lead To Rome

If you’ve taken hopper flights before, you already know, that it’s a smaller plane (in Europe, usually Ryanair) that loads from the parking lot and you have to go up a flight of stairs to get into the plane. When flying from Malta to Sardinia, someone helped me carry my suitcase up and I’m able

Malta
June 4, 2025
The journey continued from Sicily to Malta via ferry. Because of my cane and fractured foot, I was escorted through security and they didn’t scan any of my bags. Gee, I guess if you want to smuggle drugs to Malta, just be handicapped. The ferry from Sicily to Malta is under two hours and is

Sinking in Sicily & Fractured Foot
May 29, 2025
Part I: The Flood When I decided I was going to go to Italy, Sicily was one of the top places I wanted to see, since the Palminteri’s are fully Sicilian. And when it came to be that I would be doing the trip solo, I decided I wanted to see, for the most part,

A Long Trip To Somewhere
May 24, 2025
There is always a line at Starbucks in the airport, which I never really fully understand. I mean, I’m a tea drinker anyway, but I never want to be caffeinated on the airplane. In fact, I want to be so subdued, that if the plane went down, I would only know post crash. And it’s

Single. Dollar. Bills.
May 21, 2025
In the backyard at a long time friend’s house, I crack a beer. It’s a beautiful day. The sun shines on the now blossomed trees. My brother arrives with my nephew, Blaise. Blaise runs up to me with a wad of singles, throws them at me and yells, “HAPPY BIRTHDAY, YOU HAMSTER” before giving me
