Transitioning
I used to think “Hopeless Romantic” was an admirable distinction. Now, I realize that I’d much rather be filled with hope, vicariously through my relationship with G-d. The below essay was shared on Feisbuq a few days ago, but I’ve oft suspected audience manipulation by Meta. The tragic failure of our “Second Act,” twenty years…

Cruisin’ USA
ThE VoIcEs/my demons occasionally tell me you can’t have/don’t want any more children. That’s not why I’m doing this. I want to know you’re going to be okay for eternity, and the only way to do that is for you to accept Jesus Christ as your personal Lord & Savior. I’m not joking, I’m not…

Proof of the Prize
Before designing today’s lil slice of Photoshop Mischief, I had to completely reinstall Windows 11 on my laptop. Various background processes kept spawning, maxing out its i7 CPU (mind you, it worked just fine the day prior) and when I started manually disabling things in Services.msc and Regedit, I broke the wi-fi.

Irrevocable Vows
Before reading any further, I encourage you to study the Book of Deuteronomy, Chapter 22, Verses 13-19. Context is important here. Then, you can absorb my public letter (full PDF here): I went a few days deliberating whether or not G-d would be pleased with me for doing this. After going to sleep, waking up,…

This Stoplight Makes No Sense
There is a dedicated lane for right turns off eastbound Jericho Turnpike onto southbound Glen Cove Road. It has its own traffic signal, but it has two distinctly separate light phases, which I cannot comprehend. The lane is unidirectional – right turns only. You can’t go straight; you can’t make a left turn. All traffic…

Rite Aid, Wrong Time
Yesterday, I was strolling about, when I came upon this beleaguered Rite Aid on Post Avenue. You’ll recall back in August 2023, I paid homage to a Rite Aid on Merrick Blvd in South Jamaica during its final hours of operation: Rite Aid was once a formidable competitor to Walgreens and CVS, especially in the…

Dancing Is Forbidden
I was traipsing through your Spooky Little Village the other day, when I came upon a familiar cart over on Maple Avenue.
