A place to waste some time

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.

My Reputation…

He started it.

On a sunny August morning in Paris at the French offices of a multinational corporate octopus I unknowingly brought a gun to a knife fight.

Lupe

One Sunday evening in October of 1981 I wobbled up to the baggage claim at the international airport in São Paulo, Brazil, wondering whether the previous 26 hours had been a nightmare or a fantasy.

Midlife Crisis

In the early 2000’s I was 53 and leaving middle age.  I was wondering what’s next when some nasty questions popped up.  Like.  Have I accomplished anything worthwhile? What’s next?  How much hair can I grow from my ears, nose and eyebrows?  Do those ED drugs really work?
