purchase Lyrica I’m glad I got this opportunity to honor a Richmond Hill landmark. And the stories – the Holocaust survivor, the Vet coming back from Nam – it was just too good. I’ve been visiting that fish for more than 25 years. http://gothamist.com/2009/09/24/same_fish_in_queens_petshop_for_41.php And Louie’s tricolon abundans – “That fish! That effin’ fish! Is that effin’ […]

21-Sep-09Wrote all day today. Did what, nine posts? And I interviewed Howard Dean. (Write-up of the interview should come out later this week). My fave post of today: http://gothamist.com/2009/09/21/the_stuff_at_the_bottom_of_the_bron.php
Headed into the City…
18-Sep-09… to write for Gothamist for a week. Give us a visit.
Richard Rohr comes to New York.
13-Sep-09This coming week Richard Rohr will be visiting New York. Rohr is a Franciscan, and while I’ve never met him personally, in the tapes of his lectures – particularly his astonishing work on Paul – my reaction is always, “This man is preaching the Gospel, the same message as Christ’s, in a modern form.” It’s […]
Anniversary.
11-Sep-09For the day, “Anniversary,” written by our best New York singer-songwriter, on September 11th, 2002. The link to the audio is here. The lyrics, which beautifully capture the city in many ways: Fall and all attendant memories Crowd the day with unrelated histories Each year leaves its unresolving fantasies To hang around each corner Hang […]
Two Pieces in Gothamist.
28-Aug-09Two pieces I penned for Gothamist. http://gothamist.com/2009/08/26/post_129.php http://gothamist.com/2009/08/26/out_of_control_barbecuing.php

Money and Radio.
12-Aug-09I’m just back from a 2,500 mile road trip and want to know: how is it that New York City has the worst radio offerings of any city in the United States? I heard the Talking Heads song “Born Under Punches” on the radio near Harrisburg, Pennsylvania. When did that last happen in New York? […]

So I was happy to get a chance to try my hand while at Gothamist. And it seems I’ve done it: I made what will be a lasting (i.e., a few months) contribution […]
