Papa’s Gonna Buy You A Mockingbird
There was a wall-to-wall mirror in our modestly furnished living room. Most of what my parents owned were hand-me-downs from our neighbours who insisted on being called friends. My father was a janitor. We lived on the rez-de-chaussée of an upscale highrise, and our neighbours – our so-called friends – were the tenants: business owners, … Continue reading
Jealousy and a Father's Love
Reblogged from Black Box Warnings: I run. Ok, honestly, I think about running while walking around my neighborhood in San Francisco. This is a green city as you might know.

You Won’t Make a Convict out of Le Clown
Once upon a time, there was a man charged for putting his kids for sale on Craigslist, or so tells me Meizac. I’m ambivalent towards this news. When did we, parents, lose our rights to do as we please with our progeny? Why can I put an ad about my gently used bed on Craigslist - a bed that … Continue reading
Press Play, Rewind and Repeat.
When you are 107 years old like me, you use words like: 4-track cassette, tube television, rotary dial telephone, adult diaper, U2, Bengay® and rewind. You also start suffering from deafness and memory loss. When you’re 106, everything is hunky dory… One morning, you wake up, you’re older, you look at your wife sleeping, and … Continue reading
