Moving Day
Finally, the big day is here. Moving into our new condo tomorrow. Up to our throats in boxes, but it will soon be done. While packing and going through old boxes stuffed with papers, I stumbled upon a treasure trove of juvenalia that I will be posting over the next few weeks: truly atrocious poems [...]
A Typical Boston Conversation
Worker 1: Where do you want to go to lunch?
Worker 2: Susan’s Deli Of Course

Wondrous Life
I finally picked up Junot Diaz’s The Brief Wondrous Life of Oscar Wao. It is phenomenal. Anyone that can riff on Jack Kirby, D&D, and hot chicas is OK in my book. The writing is the kind of good that, as a writer, makes you a little angry, but in a good way. I highly [...]
