And I’m back. Back in Miami, after five seasons away, for what is now called #MiamiArtWeek, because hashtags. Also because I am determined to pull a Cookie Lyon and get back what’s mine. My name went from being on the guest list to being on a name tag, and that is A-OK; honest work that […]

He thought to himself, “I’m too uninteresting to call myself neurotic.” Then, he took that ruthless realization to the orange chair by the balcony and began to pick himself apart for the amusement of no one other than himself.

All year long I’d been looking to find The Day After Tomorrow on TV, to watch it for free, because I first saw the 2004 disaster blockbuster at the multiplex like a normal person. I was surprised to find that, in spite of its climatic timeliness, the Jakey-bear vehicle doesn’t show as much as you’d think it […]

The girl was 5. She adorably demanded, “What are you reading?” He was happy to see his happy neighbor, so he smiled big at her curiosity and so, he said, “A book about an apartment. On further thought…. “A book about an apartment in Paris.” “Why⁉️” she asked without missing a beat. (Bet it sounded in […]
Miami Beach 11.14.08
It was 10 years ago this weekend, when the powers that be relaunched the Fontainebleau Miami Beach with a star-studded weekend of celebration that included a Victoria’s Secret fashion, which itself featured Usher. I was there to cover the fun for Us Weekly as a stringer on the ground. I remember: I was there Friday […]
The Time Is Right Now, #SanFrancisco
Well aren’t I glad I didn’t spend my money on the midterms. The running idea was to support non-insane, worthy-of-continued-nurture-and-guidance candidates in Georgia, Florida, and Texas (and anywhere else such a person was running) – nothing for California because California didn’t need my jack – but, in the end, I didn’t invest in that way because […]
Music Is Like Voting…
Both make the people come together. America, bourgeoisie and rebel, sing yourself some of Madonna’s “Music” on your way to the polls this Nov. 6 – tomorrow! – but replace “Music” with “Voting.” Go and cast a vote not only for yourself but for your friends and family, as well as your community. A good thing to […]
San Francisco Civic Center 10.4.18
Oh the things you see when you go out to walk your dog…. The happy things you see when you’re out with your dog. This is the San Francisco I like. The one I loved seeing yesterday, on the fifth Oct. 4 I’ve spent in the City by the Bay. The one that shows up […]

Now, I don’t usually participate in National Whatever Day because, unless it’s something that was a calendar thing the day after I was born or an actual official or commonly known religious holiday, I don’t much care. But I very much care about what’s going on in the United States of America because this country […]
