The guy on the 8:16 this morning with the Eli Manning Giants jersey over his white dress shirt. One or the other, dude–wear the Giants jersey, or wear the tailored white dress shirt. But a fancy oxford collar poking out … Continue reading

Trainjotting. I know, I know, it’s been several days since I’ve posted. I apologize. You’re mad, I know. Yes, there is that other blog. It’s late-model and attractive, I know, and commands a lot of attention. I know from experience … Continue reading

The man on the Hawthorne platform who is “Never Cold.” Sir. I’m sure you’ve noticed, it’s 75 and sunny these days–a far cry from the brutal winter we just escaped from. People are barbecuing, hiking, playing ball. But you, you … Continue reading

Google. Hi Google. Sorry to hear the broadband-in-China thing didn’t fly, and sorry to bother you as you attempt to take over the world in other ways. But I’ve noticed the Google Adsense revenue I get from those ads you … Continue reading

The woman who “flashed” her MetroCard at the 28th Street station this morning. We were getting off the downtown-bound 6, and were making our way to the emergency exit door that leads to the way out at 26th Street. You were … Continue reading
