Tears On Your Quillow

Commitment
A different venue this morning- Mary's Country Kitchen, where we all went after Rob Rice's funeral. It has just opened for breakfast. I'm here with Brenda, who's just coming off shift. We've come here in her taxi cab. "I'm nervous as hell," she says,......Read More

Inhale, Exhale
Here, in this lonely, deserted Palmetto Diner, I sit in a booth with the one, and only, Rochelle Peyton, who I haven't seen much of lately. She's had some eruptions in her personal life. You know. Just like anyone else. She's had her hair cut shorter than......Read More

A Perfect World
Talk about a different venue! We're at the Zion, on Route 34 in Matawan, a wonderful, old fashioned Kosher delicatessen of the variety you simply don't find in Trenton or its environs. I'm here with Alan Adler and Myles Glickman, two personages who indicated that they suffered from......Read More

Schizophrenia
It's rare that Rochelle would be working on a Monday night; nevertheless, here she is. Dawn called out, and Vickie's unavailable. Cookie went home to the Emerald Isle for a funeral. "Can't believe we lost that game yesterday." "Gee, seems I can......Read More

A bright, chilly fall morning...
Here it is, it's a very, very chilly Autumn morning, October 19th. The Presidential Election has been going on now since the A's were still playing in Kansas City, and none of us are any closer to the truth about anything. It just drones on and on and on. I......Read More

Friends
It's been more or less proven that the very best friends you make are the ones you make in your adolescence. I guess at that time in your life, you're not that careful about who you let into the ante room, the inner sanctum . When you get into your forties, you become......Read More

Sniffles and Coughs
I don't know what it is, but it seems like every time I get a flu shot, I wind up getting a cold afterwards. Could be coincidence...there is definitely something going around, as there usually are things going around in October. Nevertheless, I got my flu shot at my job......Read More

Saturday Night Phever
"A very violent weekend," I say, to Vickie, who's in for Rochelle tonight. It's raining to beat the band, and there are wind gusts up to 50. I know that, in the Katrina scale, this is really nothing, but it's something to talk about anyway. "Huh?"......Read More
