HOW GRANDPA DIED
November 17, 2015
Upon returning from a trip to Puerto Rico with my best friend, I had a sense something was not right. My folks, who had originally offered to pick us up from the airport, had said they couldn’t come without explanation. Two days prior, when speaking with them via telephone, my brother came on the phone

Absent
November 9, 2015
My sister moved to Florida just before my nephew’s first birthday. Babies, of course, have no real concept of space or time, so the last time I hugged and kissed him, was like any other time for him… I’d see him in a week. Except this time, I wouldn’t, and I just wanted to hold

Little Pussy Bitch (A Shark Tale)
November 2, 2015
The last time I went surfing in Florida with my brother and Father, we found ourselves sharing the surf with an eight foot long bull shark. This would be the second time I would see a shark in the water while surfing. The first time was at Atlantique Beach, on Fire Island, back home on

Fear & Loathing in Lori’s Apartment
October 26, 2015
When my parents helped move me into my current home in Astoria, I proudly gave my Ralph Steadman’s ‘Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas’ illustration prime real estate in my studio. It was a poster my Mom always hated. When I got it, she scoffed at it and said, “it looks like a demon.” She

Shopping with Mom
October 17, 2015
Mom was chatting with someone in Bob’s in West Islip, as I dragged my feet, trying to look at clothes. I was in High School, and abnormally tiny. Though a teenager, I was still buying clothes from Kids R’ Us, mostly because, kids clothes was all I fit into. Juniors/teen clothes looked like maternity clothes

Zoo
October 6, 2015
It felt like we walked a mile to see the polar bears. For some reason, walking in the hot San Diego sun with my family at the zoo was particularly exhausting. The San Diego zoo was supposedly one of the best, if not the best zoo in the country. My mother and I agreed, it

Dear Old Friend
September 28, 2015
I remember where we left off. It was the end of the semester. The year was 2008. We said goodbye, and acted as though we’d stay in touch, though we both knew we wouldn’t, even if we wanted to. After a year of college, I made exactly zero friends. You were probably the closest I

Cut Locks
September 21, 2015
It happened on a Sunday. During the (awful) Giant game versus the Cowboys. I was at a friends watching the game, who lives not far from me in Astoria. I rode my bike, and locked her to a pole, as I did many times, all over Queens and sometimes Brooklyn and Manhattan, for the year

Poker Face
September 13, 2015
I’m a shitty poker player. Every time I’ve played poker, I do really well at the start, but after about an hour, I get bored. The stakes aren’t high enough. My $20 contribution to win $100 doesn’t phase me. So, I start making outrageous bets and moves. I’ll bet half my chips on a mediocre
