First off, yes, I actually did entitle this that. Second off, what a great weekend! Two of my brothers jetted down for a visit for musican-brother Barry’s birthday. It was a last-minute, spur-of-the-moment thing arranged by cellphone while I was in Publix grocery shopping last weekend and took the form of a multi-day, multi-city hoparound for …

Why War Sucks, Reason #918,476,198,479
This image is borrowed from the Facebook post by @Karthik Subramanian – A photograph that moved the world! “In Iraq, a little girl drew a picture of her mother on the floor of her orphanage. She carefully took off the shoes, lay down on mother’s chest and fell asleep… I really don’t know how to …
24 years: where did the time go?

Me: Why I write and make art, Part 1.
I grew up the seventh of nine children in idyllic Packanack Lake, in northern New Jersey. My dad worked hard in the garment industry and later in the auto sector and he was the epitome of decency and integrity. No finer man has walked this earth in my mind. My mom was a petite fireball …
New York, New York! (The New York I Recall)

The Mother’s Day flowers, in a painting
Rather than let them just wither and die, I took the opportunity to paint the beautiful Mother’s Day flowers my son sent me. What do you think?
