Wimbledon is broadcast live in the mornings as I learned this very morning, drinking coffee and waiting for my back to loosen up. Serena Williams was playing Bethanie Mattek in the quarterfinals, and I was sucked in immediately for two reasons:
First, I was fascinated by the people around the court. There was a woman behind Mattek [...]

I’m sorry, but I gotta do it. Gotta talk politics for a moment. Otherwise I’ll just keep mumbling to myself like some dude pushing a baby carriage full of stuffed monkeys down the street wearing pants with a big ol’ pee stain in them.

My fellow Americans: hiya. I come before you tonight to say “yes.” Yes, the rumors are true. Yes, I will be running for office. Yes, I’ll pause for your applause. Tonight I’m officially announcing my candidacy for local office. Office of commissioner. Commissioner on the board of this special district. Yes, I recognize it’s not [...]

How cool is that? So cool. Because I never win anything in random drawings. Free drawings, benefit drawings, lottery drawings. Nothing. Ever. Never ever. Except jury duty. That drawing I seem to be pretty good at. Not that I’m bitter.
Once though, back when I had my web design company in NYC, we designed an [...]
