I don’t see the ****ing tractors in these pictures!!!!

I SWEAR to you, I keep stumbling over these “I am not a robot” tests.

I know I’m not a replicant because I don’t have any superhuman powers. (I keep checking.)



Throwback Thursday: these 1988 commercials for Carvel Ice Cream and Genovese!

I am linking here to the Youtube channel Hugo Faces, which is a treasure trove of 1980’s local television clips for Long Island and elsewhere.  That Carvel ad is as priceless as it is cheesy.

These aired on WCBS.

The Piker Press features “Her Smile Was Silver Jupiter”

I am so honored today that The Piker Press published my prose love poem, “Her Smile Was Silver Jupiter.”  You can find it at the link below.

Thanks, as always, to Managing Editor Sand Pilarski for allowing me to share my voice at The Piker Press!

I call it “The Duke’s Tavern.”

How’s this for a stroke of genius?  My latest kick is ordering large cheeseburgers from The Texas Tavern (without the relish and mustard), and then adding Duke’s Mayonnaise at home.

I AM A CONNISEUR.   (Or a connoisseur.  I can never spell that word on the first try.)

People say I’m ghetto because of the soup I eat.

Man, the abuse I am getting on Facebook for posting this quick and tasty snack.  It’s mild Italian sausage, diced and added to some good ol’ Ramen noodles.

Hey, it works for me.

My friends actually have a loooooong history of disapproving of my culinary choices.  As always, that just means there’s more for me.
