Excuse Me

A copy of Burpee’s 2008 seed, plants and supplies catalog arrived in the mail on Christmas Eve. Next to a Christmas card sent by the Taylor family of Pasedna, Maryland, there was neatly curled a beautiful paperback book that makes warm Spring days seem just weeks away.
It is time to start seeds indoors. Crops like [...]

 It rained in Ansbach on Christmas Eve 1986. The climate enhanced my depression. It was my first Christmas away from home. I wished I had never joined the military and I found Germany dark, like its bitter beer. It didn’t feel like Christmas in my hometown of Three Springs. Most soldiers passed their time getting [...]

I thought I was late for a most important meeting. The train ride to Harlem took over an hour. The A moved like the mind of a schizophrenic on lithium. I didn’t have a watch on. I knew I was cutting it close. I tried reading the watch another passenger was wearing but his heavy [...]

Wet Dream

B. has the flava I craved in men. What appears to most to be an air of slight ignorance and stupidity is to me, the spice of life and what makes me love him so. How rare it is to find such a gem in the modern gay world. His bad manly habits of not [...]

Major Tom Tsapralis headed a special scientific research branch of the CIA affiliated with military affairs. Under the disguise and hidden within budgets from the Armed Force’s Criminal Investigative Division (CID), the program was referred to as “Operation Omen” among top brass. Tsapralis was selected by close associates of the Vice President of the United [...]

It may be unhealthy to eat a gingerbread house that is used for decorative purposes, especially when one lives in Brooklyn where roaches are as busy and almost as big as Santa’s elves. The unwelcome insects crawled down the graham cracker chimney of my baked holiday ornament last December, so this year, as I prepare [...]
