This morning, as I walked the windy beat between the two public housing buildings on the way to the subway, something caught my eye. It was several birds and a squirrel fighting over, and tearing into, half of a half-frozen hot dog. I can tell you this much, humans are barely capable of digesting hot [...]

I’m probably going to offend a lot of women, and maybe some men with this post, but oh well. I wanted to write about something that invariably nags at me each year, and that’s people’s insistence on adopting a trend despite its insanely high lame-o factor.
At any given time, especially in our fair city, you [...]

Enough said.

Okay, I get it. Yankees fans do not like (see hate) the Red Sox, and everyone from New England does not like (see loathes) the Yankees. But come on, can’t the bad blood be shelved, one day a year, during the All-Star game? If not, can’t everyone at least behave like self-respecting adults? Given the [...]
I know that I may bend in the direction of the naysayer on this blog sometimes. As in, the city only gets it wrong, we’re dirty, we build too many buildings, New Yorkers are assholes, etc. But, every once in a while I find something that is so great and positive and triumphant that it [...]
