Binky
Unholy hours
My insomnia has existed as long as I can remember. As a toddler, I used to watch the sky change color in my window. From black to blue to pale with sun. Time went by so quickly.
Nowadays, I do try to be a grown up and sleep early, with the help of pills, meditation, and [...]
Rosary
Oh thanks, I love this necklace. It’s not a rosary. Yeah, it does look like one. It’s just a y-shaped beaded necklace with a nut and two twisted pieces of metal at the end. Lady, I ain’t even catholic.
I consider myself a pretty liberal person, now.
In my youth, I was brainwashed by a “conservative” upbringing, [...]

Coming this Fall…
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Oh my, it has been a while. What [...]

Goodbye Jersey City, again. My fickle eyes can’t appreciate a familiar scene, my stubborn ears are too accustomed to the sounds… I’ll return with a stereoscope of memories, and a phonograph of new recordings [...]
History history history history history

The present. While JC [...]
Anniversary Road Trip to Savannah
We spent our first anniversary in Savannah. The soulful, sleepy city seduced us the last time we were there. This time, we explored more of Savannah and its 24 green squares of history.
Magically, the sporadic rain seemed to fall everywhere (when it did), except on us. All we felt was the moist breath of the [...]
Wild Wild West, NJ
This weekend we stepped into the West Jersey for Citziens Band Radio, and we were transported. Was this NJ?? While the band rocked country tunes, folks danced, enjoyed local beer, german beer, and select styles of BBQ. In attendance at this hoedown: a man in lederhosen, men with thumb lever-lidded beersteins, and of course, cowboys [...]
Silver Bloom
They say every cloud has a silver lining. Silver might be fine for some, but what if it were all silver? The lackluster days would move in a heavy blur. When I grow bored, everything’s tarnished. Complacency smears clarity. Screw that! Looking closer, I know what I appreciate: the scrupulous [...]
