As I noted a few entries ago, I&#8217;ve been swept up in a whirlwind of distractions, making it difficult to keep up my regular habit of blogging here once a week. Not to make a mountain out of a mole hill, but I&#8217;ve had to focus more on my health, my financial well-being and my [...]]]></description>

Half the fun of scouring old bookstores is finding things one doesn&#8217;t need, let alone even knew existed. Whenever I am out looking for additions to my various collections, I always make a point of buying something that simply makes me laugh out loud. Sometimes this is a book with a campy cover, or [...]]]></description>

[The following is an excerpt from a piece I read at The Kitchen a few years back, part of a memoir I'm writing, still very much a work in progress.]
It must have been the scream that woke me. Opening my eyes, I stared straight up. A woman was leaning over the railing of a balcony [...]]]></description>

The other day I was going through some of my old clippings and came across an article I did for Christopher Street magazine back around 1982. It was based on an essay I wrote in college about Freud&#8217;s reluctance to discuss the issue of homosexuality vis Ã  vis his famous Oedipus Complex. I had discovered [...]]]></description>

Every Halloween some jack o&#8217;lantern out there on the internet comes up with a new list of his ten favorite horror movies. I thought I&#8217;d give it a shot and do the same. But I could not limit myself to merely ten titles. You try it! So I&#8217;ve decided on my 50 faves, arranged alphabetically [...]]]></description>

There comes a time each summer when the heat becomes so oppressive and the humidity so thick that one can barely move out of one&#8217;s chair to turn up the fan or air conditioner. At times like these there is one simple solution, a cold shower or a jump in the pool. But there was [...]]]></description>

I am not usually a big fan of lists, especially those year-end lists of the top ten films of the year. Most of the time they are pictures I haven&#8217;t seen and don&#8217;t want to see. But having recently seen A Christmas Carol (the 1938 MGM version with Reginald Owen as Scrooge) on TCM, I [...]]]></description>
