The Luna Park Gazette: Primary Response
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2015/08/primary-response.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, August 09, 2015. The shirtless man was about 50 feet away when we saw him heading toward us. My sister and I were walking to the boardwalk in Santa Monica during our recent trip to LA, while the shirtless man was apparently going home. He was seriously out of condition, the kind of guy who really should’ve reconsidered the no-shirt look. Yes, we were close to the beach, but we weren’t close enough to warrant this unfortunate display. And then he put me in my place. I suppos...

The Luna Park Gazette: Blue Rescue
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/blue-rescue.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, July 12, 2015. My sister and I looked down toward the ground and spoke in one loud voice. 8220;Hi, Mr. B! 8221; we said. Mr B, a blind Australian cattle dog, also known as a Blue Rescue, turned his fabulous bluish-gray head in our direction and began barking. 8221; his owner said. It was our pleasure. We met Mr. B and the lovely woman who had adopted him on Friday during our walk around Griffith Park. All vacations should work out this well. In fact one of the moving guys, ...

The Luna Park Gazette: June 2015
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Tuesday, June 30, 2015. Get me the hell out of here! My sister and I are taking off for Los Angeles tomorrow morning and after the shellacking I’ve taken today I’m ready to ditch the plane and swim all the way out to the Left Coast if I have to. This might prove difficult given the large amount of dry land between here and California but then I ain’t thinking too clearly at the moment. But even I was stunned by the avalanche of madness that slapped me upside my life today. At some ...

The Luna Park Gazette: July 2015

The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, July 26, 2015. Have no fear, Elizabeth; your prayers will be heard. Elizabeth is from Yonkers and she’s suffering leg pain, hypertension, and sciatica, among other ailments. And she’s asking people to pray for her. I’ve never met Elizabeth, but I learned a little bit about her this week when I was walking home and spotted a form she had completed on the sidewalk. That’s dedicated to this type of material. 8220; Please fill out completely. I’ve never heard of the Texas...

The Luna Park Gazette: May 2015
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, May 31, 2015. Well, at least I found my umbrella. I cleaned out my desk at 195 Broadway on Thursday and tomorrow morning I start at my company’s new location across the river in Hoboken. Moving out an office is a scaled down version of moving out of an apartment. I’ve been working at the downtown Manhattan location for close to seven years and I don’t relish a longer, more expensive commute, but I’m trying to think positively. 8221; that I don’t think I ever read....And the...

The Luna Park Gazette: March 2015
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, March 29, 2015. Where is the Love? 8220; A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another. 8221; - John 13:34-35. The Black-Eyed Peas were right—something really is wrong with the world. In particular I’m looking at Indiana and Virginia and their disgusting legislation that allows bigots to hide behind their alleged “religious beliefs” and refuse providing services to gay people. What would Jesus do? If that sounds like the old &...

The Luna Park Gazette: December 2014
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, December 28, 2014. I was walking home on Christmas night when I saw a young woman carrying her little daughter into a house near 71st Street. I’d never seen her before in my life, but as soon as the mother and I made eye contact, I smiled and wished her a merry Christmas. 8220;Merry Christmas,” she replied. And, as I was walking by them, this adorable little girl called out after me. And then the sun came up. Would anyone mind if I just ran off to the South Seas? Every mome...

The Luna Park Gazette: Man on the Run
http://thickblog.blogspot.com/2015/07/man-on-run.html
The Luna Park Gazette. Sunday, July 19, 2015. Man on the Run. I was singing along with Paul McCartney in the Key Food this morning when my voice started to crack. The supermarket’s sound system was playing “ Band on the Run. 8221; the title track from Sir Paul’s 1973 album, which dominated the airwaves back in those ancient times. My mother knew the song from hearing it repeatedly on her children’s various radios but she managed to mangle the lyrics by singing “ Man. On the Run.”. One of the things I mis...
