The late 60's and early 70's were in Aquarius. Change was in the air. What was usual and  accepted as the norm, was under scrutiny. We were in for a crash course in riding without training wheels. The  Age of Aquarius...what a ride!
The Age of Aquarius was an era of transition worldwide.  It is difficult to imagine in the uncertainty of our current times how incredibly revolutionary  and unsettling those years were.  Conventions were questioned and traditions kicked to the
A night out, a bolt from the blue.... what more could you ask for? More Natty and Joey in Chapter 4 of Natty and the Electricians. We are calling this episode: "Flying Saucers and Fish Sticks." Enjoy.
Frank was born and raised in an island community at the end of 1920's. We were interested in his experiences as an "islander," particularly in the so called "off-season." As we spoke, it became clear that his interests were elsewhere.Here is hi
Episode 3 of the Natty and the Electricians series. It's not every day that you receive texts from a source that describes itself as extra-terrestrial. As Natty's buddy Joey wonders: "Is it the Russkies or some kid from over in PA.?" Listen and
BFFs Natty and Joey, continue to trying to determine the origin of strange text messages appearing on a highly secure  emergency monitoring system. The sender appears to be a stranded traveler. The boys are at once thrilled and fearful of what
Natty Pinski is a latter day Vulcan. He and his best friend Joey have been accidentally drawn into a relationship that strains credulity.  As a man with interests ranging from diseases of the Neanderthal to the evolution of HipHop in rural Scot
Strange and reassuring events can occur out of the blue, when you least expect. Like winning an emotional lottery!  Falling away may not be a bad thing after all. 
A story that tracks a relationship from cradle to grave...ish. Nicky and Joey are cousins as well as best friends. Following the twists and turns in their evolution proves  interesting, sometimes fun and at the end, tragic .
A brief homage to my favorite holiday: Hallowe'en. 
Summer at the Calypso!  A swim club as diverse as Captain Kirk's Enterprise.  We could have used a Scotty, but, its always something. Memories from summers past.
Did you  know that Monday's are  usually Plumbers' busiest days? Primarily because we DIYers love our weekend projects and have an overblown belief in our innate ability to fix stuff.  My Dad once decided that the gas range was in an inconvenie
As Bill Murray warned in the movie, Meatballs, ",...the moon kills you know."  Well, I didn't know ... I also didn't know that doing a solid for a poor, solitary fern could send you into eternity. I wonder if Bill Murray knows that?  
A friend once told me that no good deed goes unpunished and that ignorance is NOT bliss. I thought, geez, this guy is quite a pessimistic cynic...try to say that 3 times fast.  But seriously, would you agree with my friend? I would disagree abo
Sometimes things get under your skin.  It's good to be able to talk about these kinds of irritants, but often a challenge to do so. Why?  Because people usually don't feel as strongly about other peoples' issues as they do.  Doug thought it wou
Sometimes I have  the most vivid dreams.  Once, I remember dreaming that I had solved the very mystery of human existence. I awoke ecstatic,  knowing that I had knowledge foreign to the common human intellect. It was great until within seconds
It was a dark and stormy...what? Well you know, sometimes dark and stormy happens. Our story unfolds in the midst of one of those nights. No murder or mayhem. The storm  was the matrix where everything was happening.  Joey and Kelly decided to

 Remembering the things we did as kids often  makes me smile but also leaves me shuddering and thanking my lucky stars. It's hard to imagine back in those years, that like Billy, the star of our show, I was one of the  thousands of kids, roamin
Lerty. A strange word. Here's an equally strange story to explain the origin of the word and  misuse of the concept. I guess we could break it down or parse it out as my English teacher encouraged back in high school.  Lerty is a combination of
Back to Brewerytown in the 50's. An  8y/o  describes his experiences navigating the streets and living amongst the people of this unique and wonderful little neighborhood.  
Brewerytown.  The little neighborhood that could.  I hope to present the tone of life on 30th and Thompson for a young boy and his adventures in this unique place. Hopefully, some of the places and events described will serve as reminders of wh
In Chapter One of "Boat Fever," we met Joey, Kelly and their 3 kids as they wrestled with the prospect of boat ownership. They took the leap. They bought used. As we all know,  mostly from unfortunate experience; buying used is always a crapsho
