Day 67 of 365: a year in songs and photos
Song: Fear, New York’s Alright
A little over a year after moving here from California, he’s officially a New Yorker. Though he says he will NEVER be a New Yorker, he’ll always be a Californian and, you know, the sun always shines on Sacramento and everyone [...]

We walked by the Dakota yesterday on our way to the museum. My fascination with this building has nothing to do with John Lennon, and only came to surface a few years ago when I read Time and Again by Jack Finney, a book about time travel that takes place in New York city, [...]

Tourist blogging. This is the modern day equivalent of showing people home movies of your oh-so-exciting vacation. Except here, you can just navigate away. It’s not like sitting on Uncle Jack’s couch, stifling yawns and wondering if Aunt Martha’s deviled eggs are going to kill you before the boredom of the Grand Canyon vacation slides [...]

About two years ago, I read this book: Ladies and Gentlemen, The Bronx Is Burning: 1977, Baseball, Politics, and the Battle for the Soul of a City by Jonathan Mahler. It was a good read, especially since the summer of 77 contains some of the most vivid memories of my childhood.
There’s a mini-series starting [...]
Rock You Like A Hurricane

I really wish they (“they” being a myriad of people/organizations) would stop telling us that New York is “due” for a really big hurricane.
They’ve been harping on this for three years now. You would think they’d understand by now that as-yet-non-existent hurricanes don’t really have a travel itinerary. There’s no hurricane boss standing around saying [...]
