“There’s always next year Pat!”
It was the right after the final game of the ’91 playoffs and the Bulls were about to win their first of six titles with Michael…I hocked my most sacred possessions to get a first row seat. Watching my Knicks eliminated was a drag but watching Michael was worth it (Sort of) The look on Patrick’s face is priceless as Michael is telling him there will be other years for him to win…There never was a way to get past Michael, and when the knicks finally made it to the finals in ’94, Olajuwon and the Rockets crushed Patrick’s dreams once again. Pat Reilly might have noticed that Johnny Starks was a bit off that night, but that’s another story…

“Everyman” 2012
I read a book by Philip Roth called “Everyman” and basically it describes an older man in his last years dealing with his health failing, and all the pleasures he has taken for granted being taken away from him, one by one…Well written and sobering, but not a very uplifting novel by the man who many consider America’s finest living author…

“The Collision” 2011
Anyone who’s grown up in a city or even a large town, knows what it’s like to have some malcontent just bump into you on purpose…He always says “Watch where the fuck you’re going!” and gives you the look that’s meant to make you feel lucky that he didn’t lay you out right then and there…

Winter 1993
I guess the city decided to offer a few bucks to some of the less fortunate New Yorkers to come uptown and shovel away the stagnant ice, which was making it difficult for the crosstown bus to park in front of my old house…
