Expect Miracles
September 28, 2021
I don’t understand New York these days. But maybe that’s always been New York’s charm, the misunderstanding. The sign outside the bodega says no service without a mask. I, however, have arrived here by bicycle, am high, vaccinated and have no mask. There’s three people in the bodega at this point. The man behind the

You Always Think You Have More Time
September 15, 2021
With revealing as little detail as possible, as it appears the family would like this information tight lipped, a family member very near to me has been finally diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease after years of troubling and worsening symptoms. He has been a strong paternal figure in my life. Quite brilliant and bold. Had a

Barn
September 12, 2021
For the record, I don’t love playing ‘Barn.’ In fact, I don’t even like it. The only enjoyable part of playing ‘Barn’ for me is that my niece likes it so much. Charlotte, who is now three, is prone to her temper tantrums. And like many little ones these days, she has an unhealthy attachment

And That Might Mean I’d Have To Say Goodbye Too, Just For A Little While
September 1, 2021
I get this sinking feeling that COVID is a dress rehearsal for something much worse. That all the signs the beginning of the end started long ago. That we’re in the middle now. Smack down in the middle. And I do believe things will get better. As much as I believe things will get worse

Is It Contagious
August 25, 2021
The word “contagion” has never been so poisonous for the whole world. The mere sound of the word brings forth unpleasantness, a collective trauma. As the world became more fragile, I cannot deny that my mental state mirrored the general woe. Lori, lover of art that depicts the darkest hours and demons of humanity, couldn’t

Is Hugh Jackman The Perfect Man?
August 16, 2021
Down in Florida, I was watching the movie “Eddie the Eagle” with my parents, a feel good film about the true story of underdog Eddie Edwards who worked his way into Olympic ski jumping starring Taron Egerton and Hugh Jackman. The movie is better than I think any of us thought it was going to

You’re Gonna Make Me Die
August 16, 2021
If you heard the screams from outside, you would have thought we were amputating his leg. My sister was tending to my nephew’s (6) scrapes, a total of three: one on his face, one on his hip and another on his elbow, from a collision on his scooter. My sister was changing his bandaid and

Masters of Deception
August 1, 2021
Saying “I love art” feels like kind of a stupid exclamation. Because doesn’t everyone? Are there any people out there stoutly against art? Look, there is a great amount of complete garbage art that people consider great, but writimg about how I frequent art museums and read literature makes me a snob, which, when it

The Escape Plan
July 28, 2021
In the before times, I used to work in a high rise in Times Square. As much as locals both hate and avoid the midtown, I didn’t loath working on 48th street and Broadway, an atrium into the heart of New York City. Sure, the tourists (especially the slow walking ones) annoyed me. As soon

The Grove
July 20, 2021
The first time I went to Cherry Grove, I was only a child. Cherry Grove, of course, is the notorious gay town of Fire Island. It’s so notorious, that some people associate all of Fire Island as being this sort of gay sanctuary. This is not entirely true. Fire Island is a special place, with
