Mr. Bojangles
The amazing Bojangles

The Tell Tail Dog

I was not a dog person.

Over the last 40 years, three amazing dogs have changed me.

Third Sunday of Advent: CHRISTMAS WITH THE CAPED CRUSADERS

The year was 1996. My sons, ages two and four, were running

around the kitchen table, wearing old 1970s “Rhoda-style” scarves,

like capes. Superman and Batman were in the building!

Rabbit Holes

The weather has turned to crap, and I have fallen into scores of internet-based rabbit holes.

Going to a Wake

As a child I asked my Irish mother why people read obituaries.

A Crime Against Humanity

Here’s a video of story I read at the Filet of Sole Festival in Chicago last month. Please remember that I once had hair.

Pissers

I think about urinals too much.

Putting My Toys Away

My butt implants have slipped, but now I have killer calves. That’s the last time I will go to Costco for cosmetic surgery.

Pete

Everybody should have a big brother like my brother Pete.

Retired

I’m retired, but I’m not comfortable with it.

The CIA

It was around 3:00 AM on Saturday September 22, 2001, My oldest brother, Phil, and I were sitting in his living room waiting for the cancer to take him.

He was 56.
