The Quarter Bar Baffler
Quarter Bar & Cafe on 20th st and 5ave in Park Slope is a smallish bar with a row of shallow, perpendicular booths along its back wall. I’ve sat in those booths many times enjoying typical bar booth confabs. Since my friend began working as barback, however, I’ve spent more time at the bar.

3-6-1 Double Play
This Father’s Day weekend was exciting for a baseball fan. Since I’m so full of player stats, injuries, and prospects (I have a problem, I know) I cannot recall quite how many games were decided in extra innings or by one run, but suffice to say when that I had to get myself out of [...]
Letters from Iran
original letter from Iranian med student here. Translation below:
Hello,
It’s painful to watch what’s happening.

The set list was perfectly crafted, starting with a few songs from the new album Everything That Happens Will Happen Today, easing into [...]
Phil Jackson celebrates NBA Finals victory in style
Grabbed the picture off Cigar Aficionado’s site. They have terribly written article about how Red Auerbach, legendary coach of the Celtics and arguably superior to Phil Jackson (but thats a another post), and Phil Jackson are both championship cigar aficionados.
Anyway, how about that hat. Only Phil gets to wear that hat. It’s not even on [...]
The world doesn’t need anymore poems
Humanity has been lost to capitalism, commercialism, politics, ethics, volunteerism, postmodernism, sports, textbooks, genetics, and robotic surgery. I was drinking with a friend of mine earlier tonight. A girl I still probably think I’d like to be with, but my own indecision and uncertainity prevents anything of the sort. She is bright and probably could [...]
