September 1, 2026: Officially closed my P.O. Box today at Peter Stuyvesant Station. An odd sense of mourning surrounds the decision. Because since 1992 I have always had some kind of P.O. Box connected to me. Two different ones at two different times at Village Station. One in Madison, Wisconsin. Then this one at Peter Stuyvesant Station. They […]
June 16, 2026: Found two small  Mojo Jojo (Powerpuff Girls) stuffed things outside of Housing Works today. They both have odd zippers on the back of their heads; maybe small purses?
June 12, 2026: Thank God the group of 20-somethings sitting at the large table at Kos Kaffe finally have shut up. I swear, it was like sitting next to a bunch of yammering middle schoolers for a while. Just endless whining and kvetching about nothing. Icing on the cake when some dude was endlessly asking if he should […]
May 24, 2026: At the Baby Yoda movie, everyone wants to see Baby Yoda. Even in the previews, everyone reacts to Baby Yoda on screen. Well, now that I have seen the Baby Yoda movie I can say this:  So hollow and meaningless… That at the end you half expected Sigourney Weaver’s character to turn to the camera […]
May 2, 2026: “Life is full of pain. But I am not afraid. The pain I feel is the pain of fleeting joy.” Is a profound line spoken  by the character Lucy — and then repeated by Nadja — in the 1994 film, “Nadja.”
April 24, 2026: Fell off my bike and broke and dislocated my left pinkie finger. My left arm is now in a partial cast. What happened was I was riding my bike home from Park Slope. It happened at around 6:00pm. At 5th Avenue and 64th Street there is construction on the bridge/overpass and the metal plates on […]
April 19, 2026: I have a new abandoned/discarded stuffed thing to add to my ever growing collection of abandoned/discarded stuffed things I have found in the roadways of Brooklyn: A small Monchhichi doll in great condition! I found the fella face down in the middle of the bike lane just outside of “Save on Fifth” on 5th Avenue […]
April 10, 2026: First real day of Spring and two achievements! One, I finally caught the damned mouse. “Caught” is a polite way of saying I killed the mouse thanks to a classic Victor mouse trap. Set the trap in a cast iron pan in the kitchen; the one the mouse likes sniffing around in. Also, I have […]
April 6, 2026: Really weird dream. Don’t remember the narrative, but the first part included a life-size brownstone made out of wire and cloth. It was light enough to be flown over my head and at one point I could look up inside of it while it was being moved around. Also had another dream where a large/decorative […]
March 18, 2026: Had an odd dream. I was riding my bike in some barren industrial area; filled with mainly 1 story buildings. Some car screeches behind me on the left, turns in front of me and then parks in a cross street. I ride past the street and some guy gets out of the car and tries […]
February 5, 2026: Today was a rainy, grey and dreary day. So I didn’t ride my bike to Kos Kaffe as usual. As much as I like the cold, I am sick of this dreary weather and how I get soaked if I ride my bike in it. Can’t wait for the next few days when it warms […]
February 4, 2026: Found a gray, full sized, Labubu (“Have a Seat”) face down in the middle of the street on 5th Avenue and 38th Street while walking my bike. I guess the kids from D&D&W were right; they seem to be following me!
January 23, 2026: My blood pressure was 120 over 62 at the clinic today. And I found a stuffed Pikachu in the middle of the road at 6th Avenue and Senator Street. And I found a black braided USB C cable at the laundromat. So hey! Winning today.
January 22, 2026: National Grid said they would come around between 8:30am and 2:00pm. I waited until 3:00pm. They showed up at 3:30pm. Rode my bike to Kos Kaffe. Had pizza at Two Boots. Called up National Grid. 30 minute call to tell me that someone would call me tomorrow morning about setting up an appointment. Little kid […]
January 1, 2026: Maybe I should center my past memories writing on food? Based on Phil Rosenthal, creator of “Everybody Love’s Raymond.”
