With And Without Her: “Abandoned”
A few days away Hello dear reader, it’s been a while since I’ve spoken to you. I tend to wait until I have something to say. And when it comes to this subject, grief that is, I thought I was done writing about it. Though it is the backdrop today it isn’t the main subject…Continue reading “With And Without Her: “Abandoned””
“With and Without Her: Twilight”
I was sitting on a bench up the hill from the rocky shoreline… the sun setting, the chilly sea breeze whispering across my face and a heavy scent of sea water in the air. My daughter, the youngest, sat on my right side… I don’t know what she was thinking about. The last time weContinue reading ““With and Without Her: Twilight””
“The Road To 52”
Yes, it’s been a while since I’ve written anything. I believe December 2017 was the last time I posted.

“Without Her: The Fate of The Furious…”
What is the Fate of the Furious? 11 months later and 2 years after our last ride together… I recently saw the latest thrill ride from the Fast and Furious sequels.

“Without Her: Sacred Dust”
I have picked up my pen several times, placed the pad in front of me and yet, I haven’t been able to finish anything. Is it because my muse is missing? Is it laziness? Is it grief? Or perhaps a combination of all of the above… Last time, dearContinue reading ““Without Her: Sacred Dust””
“Without Her: 9 Months Later, I’m Not Okay”
I was sitting down watching Nashville the TV show the other week. I was so happy that it returned. Since ABC cancelled it, Country Music Television picked it up. I can’t say I’m anywhere close to liking the writing this season. First off, they are screwing up every relationship on the show, everyone isContinue reading ““Without Her: 9 Months Later, I’m Not Okay””
“Without Her: Friday Night Booze and Bluez”
It started with one glass then another then another and another… Like a fisherman I casted out my text to see who would bite. I was in the mood to talk. There was a lot on my mind and I needed someone. It was a long day. I just wanted to goContinue reading ““Without Her: Friday Night Booze and Bluez””
“Chasing The Elusive Pink Unicorn”
The other day my wife and I were helping our oldest daughter home after giving birth to another grandchild. Bags and baby in tow, we slipped into a cab and headed home towards the Bronx. The driver politely ask if the air conditioning was okay. I answered “yes” then he asked about the music…againContinue reading ““Chasing The Elusive Pink Unicorn””
