Man of La Mancha
A wise man…OK, OK, a wise ass…once said, “TODAY’S WORLD IS FILLED WITH YESTERDAY’S IMPOSSIBILITIES!” Yeah, it’s original, from 3+ years ago (Oct ’17). Be good. Be safe. Be smart. Thanks for tuning in!

Moving from NY to San Antonio in 1993 was a major lifestyle change for me & my family (my wife, Laurie & our 9 y/o daughter, Heather)… …in, oh, so many ways!!! The “pace” was perceptibly slower down South, which I actually found to be a welcome change after 37 hectic years in the Big…

A few months back, my daughter, Heather, brought home some outstanding tamales for dinner… …her buddy’s Kadillac tamales (chicken, spinach, jalapeño, cream cheese)! They were incredible! (BTW, Tamale Boy is located at 5400 S. Flores, SA.) I remember when I first came to San Antonio from NY in ’93. Now, NY has probably every type…

A few months ago, I learned about the recent passing of one of my Regina baseball coaches, Jerry Dente, from back when I was a teenager. I played under Jerry & our manager, Ronnie Bianco, as we won 3 straight Greater NY Sandlot Athletic Assn championships (1972-74). But it was more than just a baseball…

One of the best things about growing up & living in the “greatest city in the world” (New York, NY…so great, they named it twice!) was Broadway! Between “going into the city”, i.e, traveling into Manhattan, when I lived in NY (Brooklyn…Holbrook in Long Island, exit 61…Staten Island) or traveling back to NY from wherever…
Read MoreCard Skimmers
I keep reading all these stories about “credit card skimmers” (designed to steal your card # & code). Just saw one yesterday where 12 new skimmers were found at various gas stations around San Antonio…right after a bunch were found just weeks earlier! Someone needs to explain something to me… Why don’t these gas station…

Over the years, I’ve ALWAYS told myself – – and my people – – that “…you can definitely learn something new… …EVERY, SINGLE DAY!!!” For those that ever questioned that, or shot me that li’l doubting Thomas look, I would simply challenge them… “If you don’t believe me, I’ll be happy to take you into…

Just saw a FB post saying that anyone born before 1998 came before Google. Ah, that’s nuthin’, trust me! I came before the Internet. And, actually, when I stop to think about it, I also preceded … Touch-Tone… 8-track cartridges, cassettes & CDs… Seat belt laws… (Note: Pls 🙋🏼♀️ 🙋🏻♂️if you knew that I attended…

OK, let’s do this one more time… No, you’ve NEVER been limited to seeing only 25 of your 5,327,409 friends’ posts on your news reel. Think about it. No, FB has NOT changed its algorithm. As long as you react to, and comment on, others’ posts, then you’ll start seeing each other’s posts on your…
Read MoreI ❤️ New York
I found this piece today that kinda describes pretty well what it means to be “from New York”. And when they say that, they mean NYC, not necessarily the state. “I am a New Yorker. I may no longer live in the five boroughs or on the Island or Upstate. I may now live…
