I am shaking my third martini of the evening. I washed down two Tylenol with codeine with my first. But do let me explain… I spent three hours — THREE HOURS — in the dentist’s chair today. Here I am fresh from three days in sunny Florida. Here I am wistfully recalling the moon reflected…

Sitting outside Southwest Florida Regional Airport Terminal A watching the sun fall over the near-distant Gulf, a thought ran through my head: ‘I love airports.’ As suddenly as I heard that sentence in my head, I thought, ‘On the way down here you thought airports were the most lonesome places on earth.’ Could it be…

I am plumb worn out already today from 18-holes of the most challenging golf of my 32-years, and I still have a cocktail party yet to attend. Don’t think golf and cocktails are very rocknroll? Read on. I had a terrific meal last night at Naples National Country Club. I was the youngest by some…

I can’t be certain because I was alone on the beach, but I’m pretty sure I saw a shooting star just now. One is rarely certain of such sightings. They’re fleeting, and often occur when you’re not looking for them. Then you try and see another, but rarely do. Things are like that some time.…

Ladies love Mr. Big. They’re all lookin’ for him, whoever he is, whatever he represents. Seeking insight, and maybe some advices, I went to the source tonight… Chris Noth’s Cutting Room on 24th Street. Sadly, Big was nowhere to be found. I’ve seen him there before, though I never said hello or anything. He’s kinda’…

Ok, this is me cutting the shit. Enough melancholy for a while. Enough of the cryptic, heartbreaking posts. I’ll give you the skinny, then we’ll return to our regularly scheduled rocknroll programming… Yes, yesterday I was in a relationship. No, today I’m not. Letting go? Not easy. Not at all. That’s that. I remain hopeful.…

I am now going to sell five copies of ‘The Three EPs’ by The Beta Band. Do it. Heads begin to bob to the sparse, laconic groove. Knowing glances are exchanged. A wink and a grin. A hipster asks, What is this? ‘The Three EPs’ by The Beta Band. It’s good. I know. Then the…

Every so often, maybe every couple of days, I think to myself, ‘I give up.’ I may give up on work, or writing, running, dreaming, believing, hoping — whatever. Just now, walking out of Starbucks after running along the river in the midwinter morning haze, I gave up on love. Bono says “Love is blindness.”…
