ComCast is not ComCastic. On its best day, it’s ComAcceptible. Today, alas, for the fourth day since moving into my new apartment 16 days ago, I’ve been saddled with non-working service. This time, digital phone service that has quit working quite inexplicably. Previously over the last two weeks, the cable has been deleted from their…

I’ve moved!! The new address for the blog is here!. Just to be kind of annoying, unless you click stop now, you’ll be automatically redirected there in about three….two….one….See you on the other side, Neo. md
All of the hoopla about Vice President Cheney’s hunting accident has made me pause and ponder. Why, in an ‘enlightened’ society, has honor gone the way of the do-do? Consider for a moment the lowly place that honesty and integrity holds in our culture. What were once two of the most lauded values in a…

Each morning, I awake at the buttcrack of dawn, get into my car while it is still dark, and drive ten miles to a large cinderblock building, where I enter through an unmarked door and proceed past high-technology to a small workstation in the back of the building, tucked away behind high, beige sound-dampening cubicle…

Not sure why, but this is the time of year when my projects seem to take flight. With Bohemian Row (now known as “Anything But Ordinary”) in the final revision stages, I’ve turned my sights to a new story. Something about the concept of intimacy fascinates me. People have a desire to be intimate —…
