Man, I'm tired. This has been a rough week at work. Frankly, I'm sick and tired of winter. I'm sick and tired of wearing layers of clothing, and wool hats, sick and tired of freezing, windy days; of ice and worrying about big snow falls, and of walking around my own......Read More

Fingerwork
It's quiet. It's only me, and this elderly man down the other end. He's in what has to be a London Fog overcoat, and a very expensive Homburg. From far away, he resembles the Mr. Chips logo on the package of cookies. Rochelle comes out. She......Read More

A mystery...
Tonight's my first visit to the diner since Sunday, when Rochelle so badly needed my physical help coping with an endless drudgery known to all of us as Life. I really hope it hasn't gotten around that I was able to help in such a manner; if it happens again, I might have to charge......Read More

Shrimp Scampi
"Did she show?" It's Dawn, calling my cell. It's after midnight. "No, she hasn't, and she might not. Rochelle's none the wiser, either." "Do you think it's a niece, and we're making too much of a fuss over this?"......Read More

Delusionality
"Remember 'Remember The Maine'? All a big lie concocted so the United States could go to war under false pretenses and the men in charge could make their rich friends richer (including the newspaper moguls who self-servingly spread the lie in the first place). ......Read More

Tears
It's the Midnight Hour (don't expect the sound of Billy Idol or Wilson Pickett, or even the Material Bore herself to pop out, there are no sound accompaniments yet), and the Palmetto's rather quiet on this Saturday night. Rochelle's arrived somewhat late, but she's just getting......Read More

Client No. 9 vs. Mambo No. 5
It's a week that I'm taking off from work. As a result, I'm here at the Palmetto at a very unsual time for a weekday: 6:30 AM. And, who should be here with me? None other than Alan Adler, on his way to the office, which, at this time of year, has become his......Read More

Stupidity's bipartisan...
...or so texts my best friend. At 11:35 this morning, Governor Eliot Spitzer of New York resigned his office, consumed by the scandal surrounding his involvement with a prostitution ring. Over the past several years, he's spent a good $80,000 on call girls. The......Read More

There's finally tomorrow...
Almost two months ago, a dear family friend named Marcie Buczynski was brutally murdered by her fiendish husband, who, feeling that he finally made his point, committed suicide by jumping off the southbound span of the Delaware Memorial Bridge. I've discussed this event in January's......Read More

On The Road
It's five thirty in the morning. I'm about to open up one of Brenda Marie Morabito's classic, sublime fried eggplant sandwiches. Here ya go: Fried slices of eggplant thinly sliced mushroom sliced, fried green and red peppers heavily sprinkled Pecorino Romano......Read More
