Small dog, big life … I want me some of that!
Is this NOT the cutest book cover you’ve seen in some time? I’m a sucker for dog books, but I’m even more of a sucker for a dog book that has a typewriter on the cover! I’ve read the book — it’s very funny. If you know a dog lover, or if you’re one yourself, […]
Tropical Sex Wave
Had a date last night … the guy who was taking me out picked me up in the early evening for my first-time ever experiencing WMNF’s annual fundraiser — Tropical Heatwave held in and around the Cuban Club up there in Tampa/Ybor City. So, the guy picks me up in the early evening, and off […]

Do you love growing roses? I have absolutely no green thumb whatsoever … but my brother, Geoff does.
SNN LOCAL News … another thing I like about Sarasota news lately
Since I’m in a complimenting frame of mind … I woke up today and wanted to find out what was going on with Governor Charlie Crist — is he going to the big house or not? (That’s the big Senate house, um, not the other kind of big house.)
Sarasota Herald Tribune gets a nip and tuck …

Live long and prosper!
Hey, the new Star Trek movie comes out today! I wrote a column in 2006 about my old obsession with all things Vulcan — if you’re interested, you can read it by clicking here: Vulcan Tendencies, and read a brief snippet below: So deep was my identification with Spock’s mind and approach to life, love, […]
Smoke and mirrors in the land of sunshine and stadiums
The Creative Loafing newspaper is running a piece I wrote about last year’s efforts by the County and City to pull together a local land deal in the hopes of landing Red Sox spring training here in sunny Sarasota. The story has enough monkey business in it to read like comedy — and it’d be […]
