The truth is he was good at sports. He was. Look it up. You’ll see. He was great at baseball. It’s true. He could have gone pro. The problem is, was–whatever–he doesn’t like to exercise. He thinks its boring. He’s smart too. Made good grades. In the upper tier of his class. High School. […]
Back in the early 80s there was a marginally popular song by rock singer Benny Mardones, a very dramatic song (as all songs sung by Benny Mardones are) called “She’s so French.” Great song. The 1990 action film, “La Femme Nikita” directed by Luc Besson is a lot like the song. It’s French. It’s dramatic. […]
A lot of crime historians and criminals dispute Frank Sheeran’s version of the events surrounding the disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa. They say he’s full of it…That he’s a wanna be gangster at best. Be that as it may, I think he tells the truth about a lot of it. Not that I’m an expert on […]
Back in the day I did my fare share of partying. I graduated high school in the early 80s and we, as a generation, were notorious partiers. I’m not saying that’s a good thing (thinking Brett Kavanaugh here) that’s just the way it was. At that time, there were two classes of partiers. There were […]
I’ve been to New York City once. It was a hit and run trip and I didn’t make it to Times Square. I regret that. “I’ll hail you a taxi,” a waiter generously offered. “You’re less than five miles away.” But it was getting late and I was alone. I wanted to get back to […]

Some said he ran roughshod over other people’s money. His dad said that. And it was true, to a certain extent. But, of course, he didn’t call it that. He called it being aggressive. In fact, you could say, that he very carefully cultivated a reputation for “running roughshod.” “It’s called making money, dad. It’s […]
Not that I always do, but know how to eat right. I’ve been interested in nutrition since I was a teenager, but I owe most of my knowledge on this subject to one source. A long time ago I bought this little book at the grocery check out line in Walmart. Speaking of Walmart… I’ve […]
My friend, DW, asked me to write about a Flannery O’Conner short story and I agreed. He made this request some time ago. Obviously I haven’t forgotten. Anyway, DW didn’t make stipulations, i.e., he didn’t specify short story, but, since that’s what O’Connor is known for, that’s what I’m writing about. And since I […]
