My favorite Atari 2600 console video game is Adventure. I played that thing for hours. The main character is a small square. You move the square slowly around the 2-D board with the joystick.

Last night we decided to take on the big hill. My roommate and I put on our running shoes and sweats and headed off to the 22nd street steps. The hill climbs up to the stars at a frightening angle, stairs carved into the sidewalk to allow for pedestrian traverse. Cars must park side by […]

The ball was slicing through the air too quickly to begin its descent. It was like a missle, not climbing too high, just flying, almost too fast to see, until it dropped into a forest of hands, almost clearing the back rail, almost slipping into the salty bay water. As Barry swatted at it, a […]

The early sunrise wakes my cats. Simon is the smart one and he knows that jumping over to my desk and threatening to chew on one of my plants is guaranteed to get me out of bed. I need a heavier curtain in my window. This morning I lay in bed petting his orange fur […]

I was told that this network (Starz) had “decided” to no longer “participate” in that “package.” I see, I replied. Yet my […]
