Ama sua, Bay Area. There is no difference between a man who steals from the Louis Vuittons at Union Square and a man who complains something, a courtesy around a service, is taking too long (Bah humbug much?). Both are wrong and so last century, thieves of things, of time and good will, of energy. […]

Steamy, Steamy
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 […]
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 […]
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’ […]
The Thing About ‘The Happening’
The thing about the happening, meaning COVID-19, our very own IRL happening, is it happened (it’s been happening). And shortly thereafter, America pulled out of Afghanistan. Good thing, for now we can call upon and welcome our military home, and task them with helping us to strengthen our communities rather than fortifying our fronteras. Up […]
A Postcard of the Red Tide
What a lovely white-sand beach Indian Rocks Beach near Tampa, Fla., is. Sunrise to sunset, so lovely, indeed, this Gulf beach. How striking, too, to wade in its waters early one morn’, and feel nothing but warmth. A sticky, warm water, this Gulf water. Oh, but what’s that? A baby shark! (Doo doo doo doo […]
The Time to Modulate Is Right Now
Inform yourself, calibrate yourself. Modulate. Cut back on your meat consumption, because it works. Like, it won’t save the planet – Earth doesn’t need our “saving,” for its plan we cannot even fathom – but cutting back on meat is one of the healthiest choices we can make at this point in the game, for […]
We with It
I have been saying – and writing…for the record – that the shit’s like The Day After Tomorrow for a minute now. In print, at least three years, since I became King. Of Cups. Now that we are paying attention, know that the media are gonna go beyond with the coverage, making it seem like […]
