  I saw a guy in my neighborhood this evening who I thought died about ten years ago.  Back then, he appeared to be on his last pinky toe. He was frailer than frail then and its astonishing that he's kept on in his terrible condition for all these years. I wonder if he thinks its an unimaginable blessing or a curse.  Today a friend sent me a piece of writing I sent her in 2020. It was New Years Eve 1989.  I was dating jazz pianist Kirk, who once was the musical director for HAIR on Broadway and performed his “Sonata for Piano and Dog” at Carnegie Hall and on Letterman.  We met late night in a crowded bar. I liked his soft, deep voice, his slow growing smile and mindful way.  I told him I loved the lyric from his former gig - “they’ll be gaga at the go go when they see me in my toga …”  He responded “yeah, it’s a tasty quatrain.”  That did it for me.  I wanted to hang out with a guy who said smart, amusing things like that.  I lived in th...

Think about it

I love Paul Rudnick

He was a guest on my gay pride show in the 90s. I told him my favorite line of his in his movie column was that Spike Lee was an activist Vincent Minnelli. He said Spike didn't know what he meant by it. Do you? Hint: Denzel wore Armani suits in Mo Better Blues .

2 Hard to Believes

Rachel Dratch was on Celebrity Jeopardy last night and told Ken Jennings she didn't prepare at all for the game. She answers the first answer about something that happened in the 16th century ... the Spanish Armada. Correct. She says ... I have goose bumps ... I told the guy who did my hair today the same thing and he said ... what do ya mean - like what was the Spanish Armada.  I worked with a woman named Hope. Thirty years ago say ... and one morning long after I stopped working -  I am in the middle of a dream where she is looking for my building.  I am awakened by the phone ringing - in real life- and it's Hope. Saying hello for the first time ever.
