St. Paul’s Chapel serves that function nowadays. It was an important historical site before 911, when I worked at 25 Broadway and used it as my place for daily meditation. Now, it has a whole different vibe. I can’t really go in without crying.

Lived in NYC for years. Still back almost every month. I still won’t go downtown.

Pretty sure these people are what Yahweh had in mind when he forbade idols. The Jesus statue might as well be a crude little stumpy ceramic Ba’al.

My grandfather was a hobo in the Depression.

Hopefully this woman’s apartment reeks of coal dust and the effluvia of the 11 children she would have had by this point in her life.

Heel, Rex. Sit. Good boy.

Here is a 14 year old that is able to identify bullshit, ballsy enough to call an adult out on their bullshit, and savvy enough to pen a pithy and well-written response to it. Meanwhile, my 14 year old son communicates primarily in grunts and dirty looks.

If he had been carrying his racquet bag, they would have called in SWAT.

Ten bucks says there’s a Matthew Lesko book in there too.

Just because he’s gay doesn’t mean he’s smart.
