June 14, 2025 We, the fine people of Roxbury, are a progressive bunch. We strive for the future, we plan for better days...and by golly, we will have a connecting network of sidewalks eventually! Now, this particular sidewalk was well under construction when I took this photo. And you know what? I was standing on the railroad tracks when I took it! The railroad tracks! This fancy sidewalk...which, by the way, still has that 'new sidewalk' smell is actually on the other

In this video, I will show you the correct way to make a salty-sweet martini. The last few months have been trying! We could all use a stiff drink! This is for you Andrew!

July 13, 2025 I've never really written a poem before, other than doing an assignment for school. Two days ago, my son emerged from the basement with something he had penned when inspiration floated his way. It's funny how it works...the whole inspiration thing. It just comes. It appears in your brain and you grab the closest piece of paper and you jot it down. A thought, an idea, a story, a plot line to a major motion picture! Or in this case, a poem. Crazy thing is, i

June 12, 2025 Happy birthday to my father who would have turned 85 today had tragedy not struck in 1989. Unfortunately for him and all of us who knew him he was taken from us at the ripe age of 49 years and 17 days. It really comes into focus for yours truly as this year come August, I will be turning 48-years-old. I think anyways, I have to check with my wife, she knows better than me! It's funny, when you're a young whippersnapper, you can usually tell somebody how old

June 11, 2025 On Saturday the Tyrant king will be throwing himself a big, beautiful birthday party. Sure, it just happens to coincide with the 250th birthday of our country's Army, but come on folks, we know better. This is the same asshole who called the great John McCain a loser for being shot down in battle and caught by the North Vietnamese, and dead soldiers "suckers" for dying in battle and not making it home to their loved ones. Yeah, we know this is for you, Mr. Tr

June 10, 2025 Home Depot CEO and Trump ass kisser Ted Decker boldly and proudly told the world that his stores would not be passing the costs of tariffs onto its customers like Walmart, Amazon and Target to name a few. Bravo Mr. Decker, you patriot of all patriots! How will you do it? "More than 50% of our purchases are sourced in the United States," Decker said in the company's quarterly earnings call. "Over the last several years, we have worked diligently with our vendo

June 9, 2025 The year was 1988, the Yankees were playing an afternoon game. I rushed home from school to catch the first pitch. A quick stop in the kitchen for an afternoon snack and some lemonade, and I had made it! I hit the power button on the television, I tuned into channel 11, and viola! The game was on. Oh how I miss the days when watching a sporting event on television wasn't such a baffling ordeal! Fast forward to the year 2025...it's the future! Here we are!

June, 8, 2025 While billionaire Howard Lutnick, the head of the Treasury Department has been tasked with building better bananas, and "building" them right here in the good old USA...another more pressing issue has cropped up. This weekend, people in Los Angeles have reached a breaking point. After 44 people were detained by ICE agents, including Union president David Huerta, protests and riots have started to break out. The proverbial straw has broken the camel's back. T

June 7, 2025 Well, I tell you what...down here in good old Roxbury, New Jersey we like our sidewalks incomplete and nonsensical. Safety is our number one goal, so we try our damnedest to keep you from attempting to walk all together! Walk your dog? Screw you Pal! Walk to school? No way Jose! Here in Roxbury we keep our sidewalks incomplete for a reason! And that's how we like it! No shoulders either?! That'll teach you to walk your dog young man! Now go back inside an

June 6, 2025 There are some that say that it was long overdue. I mean, how could this employee have gone so long without being recognized for his valiant efforts day in and day out? Quite frankly, it has been a travesty of union noncompliance that needed be be rectified posthaste! So last night, after going over the numbers for May, crossing T's and dotting I's, and wrapping up all the things that needed wrapping...a vote took place. In a stunning 1-to-nothing victory, I am

June 5, 2025 Sometimes it's really great living in an old house. Mine is so old that when it was built, there was still a good 30 years until the Civil War. It can be frustrating and expensive at times, but I tell ya, if a nuclear bomb went off, this baby would still be standing. They don't make them like this anymore, that's for damned sure. Of course, when the first hot day of the year arrives, I have to put the damned air conditioners in the windows. Six in total. I f

June 4, 2025 What's really behind the abolition of the penny? I realize it costs more money to make than it's worth...so it makes perfect financial and fiscal sense to halt its production .  As a matter of fact, for the 15 years I worked behind the bar in various restaurants, we never used them.  We just rounded up or down to the nickle.  Nobody cared.  And at the end of the shift you were maybe off by a dime at most. No biggie in the grand scheme of things. The time you sav

June 3, 2025 The acting head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (F.E.M.A.) was caught off guard yesterday when pressed about his agency's plans going forward for this year's hurricane season. David Ricardson, another Trump appointee and ring kisser, was completely unaware that the United States has this "so called" hurricane season. News to him, I guess! Excuse me, sir, do you live under a fucking rock?! Have you read a newspaper other than Newsmax, Breitbart or OA

Chapter 12 The Great Escape, Part II In spite of my triumph over the Brothers Grimm, I couldn’t help but feel underappreciated.  I felt...

June 1, 2025 Forgive the departure. I know the half a dozen people who read this website were really looking forward to Chapter 12 of Life Behind Bars. But something has taken precedent over my lackluster melodrama of my long lost bartending career. While the six of you may possibly lose sleep tonight, I apologize in earnest. I realize how exciting it is anticipating the next arc in the storyline that is my life, and I'm sure I'll get hate mail from all of you, but what h
