My father-in-law’s health has been in decline for number of years. Now he walks with great difficulty. I never really think about handicap that much. But the other day, when we took him to the Citi Field did I think about it. He gave up his handicap licence when he no longer able to drive. [...]

The recent radio commercial for opening days at the Citi Field goes like .. bring the whole family, tour the new facility for $3 with free parking (during the game day, it’s $18) .. meet Strawberry.

A night out with grandpa, he really enjoyed it.
Found a fan who wore Lenny Dykstra. He still has fans here.

Two sons’ starkly different accounts of their parents, Christopher Buckley – the only child of two charismatic – and complicated parents, and Joe Queenan – whose father’s continued existence threatened him and his sibling and who never goes to bed without a chair jammed against the door and a butcher knife next to his bed.
Mother’s [...]

A while back when a reporter asked Melanie Knaus would she love Donald Trump if he weren’t rich. Miss Knaus replied
“Would he love me if I weren’t beautiful?”

People are wary [...]

Salma Hayek and Francois-Henri Pinault’s wedding has Hayek’s ex Edward Norton in attendance, and Bruce Willis and Emma Heming’s wedding with Demi Moore in attendance. I thought Heming looks bit like Moore. ..
Once, on separate occasion I asked two friends who got divorced and their exs had since remarried if they had [...]

Richard Blumenthal of CT is an opportunist and idiot. He couldn’t stop crime on the main streets, so he takes on craigslist, the obvious target or villain in his eyes at the moment. Connecticut might have the highest hedge funds but they voted in an inept attorney general. Thought of Eliot Spitzer. [...]

I’m no fan of Michelle Obama, but I like the Obamas so far.
Is it a true love that they deserve (for being a brilliant president and first lady) or desperate hope from the dogs in the water that the Obamas will pull us out of this wrack, this dicey situation?
I enjoyed seeing that the Obamas [...]

What recession?
Waiting at a traffic light, this tiny pinky stretch Hummer limo glided into my view. It’s dirty pink or fuchsia? Then a Ferrari pulled in a second later. No matter. There are always some people getting by and some getting by by a large margin.
Everything is relative.

DQ owns few houses in Nicaragua (and for that matter, elsewhere too), one being on an island – she owns an island that’s named after her – La Isleta de Phoebe. She’s going to herd five of us (so far) to Nica next month with the following itinerary:
We will take the 6am flight on [...]
