My friend who lost his dad…  He was only 60 years old. An alcoholic, but a good guy.  And his mom died years ago.  Now my friend doesn’t have *any* parents.  What’s that like at 29? I mean, my MOM still has a mother.  Yeah, she has Alzheimer’s and is in the hospital right now.  But [...]

I’m looking at 30.  Yeah, that’s right. I’m getting fucking old.  One of those legendary stories growing up was how, at the age of 3 or 4, I said that Madonna should retire from being a singer because she was 30. Because she was ancient.  [...]

I realized after writing my post on Eating and Drinking in the Big Easy that I never bothered to give an update on my last day in New Orleans…  I’ve shared this story with a number of friends and they’ve all decided to get a good laugh at my expense.  Without further adeiu..
