Look at Me, I’m Crying →

I’ve done it on the subway and at the Museum of Modern Art, in Prospect Park, Tompkins Square Park and leaning against the locked gate of Gramercy Park. If you live in New York, you’re bound to end up crying in public eventually; there just aren’t enough private places. Just the other day I saw someone doing it on West 12th Street. A tall woman in a beret, with a curtain of reddish hair,...

Singledom: It’s Normal, So Relax: Reader Response →

I’m not stressed out because I’m single. I’m stressed out by the idea that it’s becoming painfully obvious that by having a mostly-formed life, interests, opinions and requirements, that it’s quite possible I’ll never find someone who both fits in the space and wants to make an effort to stay in it. I’ve never been good at faith, but I have to believe that somewhere out there is someone for...

I Am Seeking to Destroy My Deep-Seated Cynicism... →

People are looking out for one another! If it is meant to be it will happen! Is that the singing of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir I’m hearing? Nor am I creeped out by hordes of people wearing the same starched white shirt and matching red sweater vest! Mowing the lawn! Some days I can’t get out of bed! Frisbee golf! I think I’m too far gone.

booyahgrandmere replied to your post: I saw your brother in Wilton Magazine and was thoroughly entertained. I can’t wait to see it! It’s not online and my mom couldn’t figure out how to scan it, so she snail-mailed it to me.

octopuses-in-milk asked: I reblogged your post but I'm not sure if you'll see it, That cat was actually snuck on the island. The media for some reason wants to tell people that he washed on shore (which is kind of impossible... there is no "shore") and he some how floated across the Hudson. He would be dead. The currents are too strong. The media likes sob stories. And I'm not sure if you know,...

Postal Worker in Deep Doo-Doo After Using Yard As... →

Don Derfler says his mail carrier had something to deliver all right but what he left behind was nothing resembling mail. Excellent lede. Also, I think it would be so mean if they fired him. The guy obviously had an emergency and couldn’t have made it two blocks to the bathroom. Don’t pretend like that’s never happened to you!
