Modesty is the art of drawing attention
to whatever it is you're trying to be humble about. Alfred E. Neuman (June 1987)
I was born in Brooklyn,
New York, a few years before the
Giants and Dodgers escaped to California (I don't root for either of these teams because they abandoned me
as a child).
I attended PS (Public School) 91, Lefferts JHS (JHS61) and
Wingate High School *. Eventually, I too, escaped to
California. One of more the difficult things about the move was having to learn
a new language because no one spoke Brooklynese.

I am married and have 3 great kids. At times it seems there are more
than 3. When I'm upset I sometimes get their names wrong but so far I have
never called any of them by the cat's names. I have a daughter and twin boys.
Currently they are all teenagers. The kids are 16 months apart. When the twins were born I
told my wife "Don't worry, it'll be fun". She keeps accusing me of lying. When people hear
that I have 3 kids so close in age, the most common response is "
Oh your poor wife ". If this keeps up, I might get a complex or maybe even a phobia.
I haven't decided yet. Maybe I'll have both!
I really do love my kids and I enjoy spending time with them but I need
to escape from them once in a while. When I need to escape, I don't hide
in the bathroom and read the newspaper (somehow the lighting always
seems better in there) and I don't go out to the garage to polish the
tools I never use but are there just in case. While both would provide
a sense of accomplishment, neither provide what I'm looking for so I
chose to make this time waster of a home page. I hope you enjoy it.

My favorite comedy team is the
Marx Brothers.

"Je suis Marxiste, tendance Groucho."
"I'm a Marxist of the Groucho variety."

This is one of my favorite pictures.
It is the intersection where 9th Avenue ends at 37th Street in Brooklyn. The background is
Greenwood Cemetery. What were they thinking when they posted this sign? Here is another unusual picture. Imagine having these guys
"pop up " behind you.
