World Mourns Entire Day of Having to Listen to Song, “Imagine.”

December 8, 2010

Imagine all the people, mourning the death of John Lennon, without having to play goddam “Imagine” over and over again, ad nauseum. John Lennon died 30 years ago today, but that doesn’t mean we have to kill his music. Don’t get me wrong. Imagine is a terrific song. But enough already. I loved that song [...]

The Death of an Old Friend/Pumpkin

April 8, 2010

My pumpkin is dying. We adopted this pumpkin last October, he and six of his brothers and sisters. The others didn’t make it, due largely to the fact that they were sliced open and left out in the rain. But this one just sat, uncut, for the last seven months. I get that honoring a [...]

This is what goes through my mind, noting the time, picturing myself in front of police officers, on the stand, in news reports: “Area Man Notes Domestic Dispute in Blog: Predicts Murder.” Put a [...]
