Stupid People Piss Me Off
Took another one of those online polls today, “What Pisses You Off?” I got “Stupid People Piss You Off.” Well, duh! That’s not worth posting. On a lighter note, Sunday’s Pietri benefit was a great success. Kudos to Fish for pulling it off lovely. I got there about an hour-and-a-half in, Isaac on one arm,
Teaching in the Bronx, but no MFA!
Had the pleasure of doing a reading/Q&A at the Riverdale Neighborhood House last night for a group of teens from a workshop run by Corie Feiner (fka Corie Herman) as part of a residency she’s had since 2000, thanks to Poets & Writers.

“I know where weapons of mass destruction are… Joblessness is a weapon of mass destruction. Poverty is a weapon of mass destruction. Homelessness is a weapon of mass destruction.

I love New York. Now, more than ever. Really. It’s more than just some marketing slogan for me. The good, bad and ugly; I can’t imagine living anywhere else. Went for a walk at lunch today, up Water Street to the South Street Seaport, walked the pier, then went across on Fulton Street to Nassau
