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

Temper Temper
There’s a runner in the park I’d like to kill. You usually see him trying to woo women by showing them around wearing American flag shorts. It’s the only time I’ve ever wanted to burn the flag. He likes to … Continue reading

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
