Run For Your Life

The Jewess and the Shiksa
There’s a young girl I see running most mornings, 30ish, curly-haired, long and lean. She always runs along the various paths that parallel the road, like a deer loping by. Occasionally we stretch together on one of the Park’s many … Continue reading

The Lone Rangers of Central Park

Babushka
This morning when I was climbing Harlem Hill in Hamilton Heights, named after Alexander Hamilton, our first Secretary of the Treasury, because he lived there, I came upon a little old lady pushing a tiny grocery cart. She was 5 … Continue reading

Anything Goes Sunday
I’m a very disciplined creature by nature…I’ve had to be. When you grow up in an unstable environment, you need regular rhythms to rely on, so six days a week I’m like a West Point Cadet. I rise early, making … Continue reading

I’d Duck If I Were You

Weather Or Not
I don’t do well in the cold. These couple of weeks of frigid temperatures have taken their toll. To put mildly…I’VE BEEN FUCKING MISERABLE. Come to think of it, I also pale in heat, rain, snow, hail and sleet. I … Continue reading
