First, here are a few pictures from last weekend in Ptown: I could include group photos of my other friends (Heath, John and Chris) but I promised them they’d have the opportunity to review them first. I finally got to see the conclusion of my latest TV addiction: Popularity Contest. The contestant I wanted to […]
Do you remember how evangelists like Jerry Falwell and his ilk blamed 9/11 and various hurricanes and last years tsunami on gays, lesbians, liberals and abortionists? Well, after last Saturday’s Pride Parade in Boston, I may think there’s something to their claims. This was the hottest, most humid Gay Pride event I’ve ever attended. It must have […]
My friends, Chris and John, are flying up to Boston from Washington, DC tonight for a fun-filled Beantown weekend. Their flight arrives at 11PM and then they want to go out for dinner. I know that in other parts of the world (and even in New York City) this is not an uncommon time for […]
I got home from work last night and immediately turned on the air-conditioning. After one of the coldest May’s on record, we just jumped right into summer once June began. It’s been in the upper 80s, hazy, hot and humid since I got back from Chicago (minus one gloriously cool day). Later in the evening, […]
Last night Rich came over and we watched some Strangers with Candy while we ate dinner. After the DVD ended, I turned back to network TV and, once again, stumbled upon another bizarre reality show that I fear I’m going to get sucked into. This one is called “Fire Me, Please”. It is hosted by […]

I’ve blogged about the complicated cycle of managing the estate of a deceased person (complicated further by not being a family member and also having to manage a […]
Summer is definitely here. And not because it was a gazillion degrees out yesterday, but because the North End is prepping for it’s summer feasts. Being the city’s Italian neighborhood, my little ethnic part of the city celebrates various saints throughout the summer. This consists of various streets being blocked off and all of the […]
I had a great childhood. However, most adults my age have memories of the Muppets, Sesame Street, Electric Company, Mister Rogers and Zoom. I, on the other hand, have memories of the programs I watched with my family: Three’s Company, Love Boat, Solid Gold, Benny Hill and Sha Na Na. As an adult, I’ve seen some […]
I’m back! I feel like it’s been ages since I’ve updated my blog. This may just be the longest I’ve gone without updating it. But it’s good to be back home (and even to work). I took loads of pictures of Chicago while I was there and have posted them in “Karl’s Photo Gallery” (link toward the […]
