Some very sad news.

November 22, 2025 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

I am so sorry to have to share some terribly sad news here. I spoke recently with a family member of Matthias Kruger, the truly wonderful publisher at Newington Blue Press in Germany. Our friend Matthias has passed away very suddenly due to a heart attack.

If you were lucky enough to know Matthias, then you know how important he was to so many creative people. He was an easygoing, sublimely good-natured man whose love of literature was cheerfully contagious. This was best evidenced, of course, by his outstanding work on Newington Blue Press’ BUK100 series — a beautiful series of elegant chapbooks commemorating the legacy of Charles Bukowski.

If you are anything like me, you hope that Mathias is somewhere tonight kicking back and having a beer with ol’ Buk himself — who is doubtlessly pleased by the way Matthias encouraged countless others to enjoy the writer’s work.

A salami omelette is called a salamelette.

November 18, 2025 Eric Robert Nolan Leave a comment

And that is today’s portmanteau, ladies and gentlemen.

Hey, I’ll go you one better. A hard salami omelette is called a halamelette. That’s even more enticing. It sounds Kosher. (And “harlamelette” sounds too reminiscent of “harlot omelette;” I’m not sure what that would even be made of, but I can’t imagine it’s good.)

Please, no pedanticism about the correct spelling of “omelette,” because it’s too goddam confusing.

I suppose it is obvious that I have strayed from my avowed heart-healthy diet. I need to get back on that horse. (Back on the wagon? Getting to horse hitched to the wagon or something?)

I’m rambling again.

“I’m not a psycho. I’m an empath.”

Me: “You’re a psychempath.”

Portmanteau Nolan strikes again.

Circa 1992. With College Girlfriend, no less.

The young lady pictured was always a sublimely cool individual, so I will spare her the ignominy of naming her here. (We protect the innocent at this blog.)

Thanks to MWC Alum Rick Slagle for the photo!
