A Tree Grows in Jackson Heights
Perhaps no one else but myself cares about this, but Bette, the tree planted in December, 2007 outside my window as an early holiday present (okay, it was actually part of the million tree plan initiated in NYC by Mayor Bloomberg and Bette Midler's New York Restoration Project) deserves an update. Here, the before, middle…

The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion So, a big shout out to Frank DeCaro and Jim Colucci, who brought me into their big gay show (The Frank DeCaro Show) on OutQ – Sirius 109 | XM 98 Satellite Radio yesterday! And yes, I can call it big and gay because that's just part of…
Read MoreI Mess With Texas, The Continuing Saga
Or, I've lost count how many times I've messed with Texas. The Mess With Texas Sign Mainly because I occasionally begin to think it might be OK down there, and then I remember: I've only ever really been to Austin. So I forget to pay attention. And then BS like this pops up. From the…
Read MoreNo. 5!
We're No. 5! We're No. 5! (I'll take it.) Not to brag or nuthin', but "The Law & Order: SVU Unofficial Companion" is now No. 5 on Amazon's TV show book list! Hurrah! Thanks to everyone who bought one … or 10 … or 20 (hi, mom!) If you don't have one yet, why not?…

Proof of life So, remember roughly about a year ago, where you were? I remember where I was: Sweatin' up a storm in Ft. Lee, New Jersey and eatin' up the yummies on the set of "Law & Order: SVU" in between watching the filming, taking notes and interviewing cast members. Some of the most…
Read MoreKnow how ….
Know how sometimes you want nothing more than a big tall cold glass of water from the fridge … and sometimes you just want a glass of ice with tap water poured over it? Taste buds are fickle things.
Read MoreTorchwood: Come on baby, light my fire
The Gang's All Here Am in the midst of Torchwood's "Children of Earth" quintilogy. Having a few thoughts here. Caveats: I'm far from an expert on Torchwood. I have seen approximately 5 episodes of season two, and no others. I have seen (I believe) all of the Capt. Jack Harkness episodes from "Doctor Who," and…
Read MoreTake the needle from the record
Thriller I had Thriller. Somewhere out there, 36 million (or thereabouts) did, or still do. I remember how it folded out in gatefold style (albums, folks, albums) to reveal Michael Jackson lounging in a white suit, black shirt (unbuttoned just slightly) and a tiger cub crawling on him. I can't say it was sexy, I…
