And the Dove Came in to Him….

August 10th, 2008 · 1 Comment

Most religions start with some kind of revelation. Some guy while walking in the woods finds golden plates, next thing you know, two scmucks are knocking on your door asking strange questions. An old man walks to the top of the mountain, comes down with a couple of stone tablets, next thing you know I [...]

I cherished our moments together when we met for a drink and a conversation. Then I had to open my big mouth… Needless to say that our short-lived friendship is now a [...]

May 26th, 2008 · 7 Comments

On the way back from the weekend trip to St.Louis I composed this piece of fine poetry:
O, Trader Joe’s, I’m drawn to you

The store owner Ed may not be able to discuss finer details of [...]
