Boy, does it get kinda hot – downright balmy…and humid… – after a bomb cyclone. That was a first, mind you. One of the topics of conversation whenever on the phone with someone back home has always been the weather. Smooth and easy, that topic. Like buttah. And I feel like, maybe, that’s a fairly […]

It Is Indecent
Forever and a half, and then some, we have read about, heard, witnessed the plight of the American worker (of farmers and nurses and teachers, here, there, everywhere). We have, and we also have learned the names of the companies that have yet to step up, of the politicians that filled their mouths with promises […]
Let’s Have a Clean Fall
Shall we? Yeah. Let’s have a clean fall. It’s doable. After all, plastic wastes (or glass/aluminum trash), drink cups, and those nasty cigarette butts don’t simply happen in nature. We make ‘em happen. And that is sooo last century. I mean, PPE as litter on the streets, in 2021. Really? Let’s do our part better. […]
San Francisco, 10.16.21: En Vivo, En Directo, A Todo Color
El tiempo, la fisicalidad, y la luz se dieron el encuentro al aire libre afuera del de Young Museum en el Golden Gate Park de San Francisco cuando la artista norteamericana Judy Chicago presentó “Forever de Young,” su nueva instalación de arte multicolor efímera esta tarde, frente a un público efusivo y entusiasmado por compartir […]
The Thing About ‘Squid Game’
From South Korea and now the hottest thing on Netflix, Squid Game is the show for you, if you are into cancelling folk. This is a show about hundreds of have-nots – 456, to be precise – portrayed by a new constellation of global stars, including Lee Jung-jae, HoYeon Jung, and Gong Yoo, who are […]
Drop Everything: Adele Is Back
Time goes by and we get older (I’m getting older, too), and then, sometimes, we get Adele – and the entire world listens to some poetry for a while. Today, ’bout six years after she turned a musical 25, we got some more. And let’s face it, we all wanted more. Indeed, Adele is back […]
5cream Again
Oh wow. It has been 10 years since the last time movie audiences around the world saw OG Screamers Never Campbell, David Arquette, and Courteney Cox together again and fighting for their lives up on the big screen in Scream 4…not to mention, 25 years since director Wes Craven delivered the first and seminal Kevin […]
Long Live the Queen of Hearts
Princess Diana is having a moment in 2021. Yes, 24 years after she died, Lady Di is still It, It, It. We have, of course, her sons, William and Harry, through whom the world’s royal fascination endures. Now there also is the new Broadway-boung Diana: The Musical, about the erstwhile Princess of Wales’s dazzling and […]
Pay the Bill, Jeff Bezos
Not to tell the guy who rode up a rocket dick to outer space (because he could) and came in second in the Great White Male Billionaire Space Race of 2021 (hurry up and catch up, Elon!), world hunger (and taxes) be damned, what to do, but…: Why not pay a bunch of good ol’ […]
This Is the Last Time
This is the last time I beat myself up. The last time I knew a group of people, it fizzled because time ran out (the time before because I ran out…ish – another story, another time…or not). So I went away to reset unto an unknown time. People wondered where and how I’d be. I […]
