About Me

1I am a New York-bred transplanted Californian who is now stuck on Long Island.

I've lived in New York since birth except from 1993-2006 when I lived in California. I should have never left... California, that is.

Intra-City Blues

I’ve spent a good part of the day bouncing around between sports radio in New York and sports radio in Los Angeles listening to the fussing and feuding of sports fans of intra-city rivalries in both cities.

For example, follow this conversation between Ramona Shelburne (@ramonashelburne), a columnist for ESPNLosAngeles.com and J.A.

NBA Monday

Spending a lot of my time today following the nonsense surrounding the non-trade of Chris Paul, the point guard of the New Orleans Hornets, even though he doesn’t want to be. Unfortunately, David Stern, the de-facto CEO of the Hornets has blocked any trade of Paul… at least so far.

A Day At DMV

Any time I have interaction with a government agency, I expect delay and absurdity.  So, when I got my drivers’ license renewal notice in the mail last week, I looked on the situation with an air of foreboding.

My license expires on my birthday and since that was less than a paycheck away, [...]
