This is just so sad. Harry Connick Jr. and his father seen in Greenwich scratching lottery tickets, desperately seeking cash. Even worse, former Riverside resident and Antiques Road Show hostess whatshername was spotted fighting it out over a commode at … Continue reading →

A dozen dead fish float up in Bruce Park pond. The reporter claims that ‘[i]t was unclear Saturday night what had killed the fish, and it couldn’t be determined what kind of fish they were.” I can’t blame the reporter for … Continue reading →

Here’s what four months of duplicity and bullshit eventually produces. Mind you, the acerbic tone comes from a writer who trusted this particular agent as a friend and warded off warnings from a real estate lawyer that the agent was … Continue reading →

No, not because of anything they’ve done to me, but my mother has expressed fear that, if she needed assistance, they might not come because of what I’ve said about them. That is absolutely ludicrous – the GPD is the … Continue reading →

Maxine Waters, acknowledged by all Washington observers to be the dumbest, most ignorant representative presently serving in Congress, is being investigated for trying to get the federales to save her husband’s crooked bank. Does she scoot, like Charlie Rangel or … Continue reading →

From Old Coot, on Charlie Rangel getting a pass: Where’s Last Liberal Standing on this? I’m guessing he must be waiting for his talking points from Kos. As I’ve confessed here before, LLS, I respect your opinions, much as I … Continue reading →

One of my more humorous encounters with police (I did tell you of discussing philosophy with a Pennsylvania state trooper who, searching my backpack when I was a 16-year-old hitchhiker , discovered a volume of “The Collected Works of Bertrand … Continue reading →

I think it’s a shame that the subsidized taxi service for Greenwich seniors is in trouble. It costs the town maybe $10,000 annually and for some older folks with limited budgets, it’s a Godsend. For several years, before a group … Continue reading →

Residents of Wiscasset fret over traffic caused by Red’s, the lobster roll place. Having lived in Maine and eaten at Red’s I can promise you that you can skip both and not miss much. Wiscasset in May is great but … Continue reading →

Congress recommends slap on the wrist for Rangel, not expulsion. What did Pelosi promise – “the most ethical, moral Congress ever?” “We’re going to drain the moral swamp”? Guess she forgot.

Piraeus says it can’t or won’t pay its debts. Piraeus is the port city just south of Athens – in fact, it serves as Athens’ port and while it was admittedly a bit shabby last time I was there (1972), … Continue reading →

My favorite radio station, Wfuv, (90.7 FM) just played Diana Ross’s “Ain’t no Mountain High Enough”. I’ll admit to not being a huge fan of the Supremes back in the 60s but I’m older now and I did have the … Continue reading →

We’re at the bottom of the rankings for “demographically similar” districts around the state, but then there are vague references to our poorer children who may be bringing test results down. To me, “demographically similar” indicates that those factors are … Continue reading →

Tokyo’s oldest man at 111 actually dead for 30 years. I might make it to 75, following his example.

That’s how a fellow realtor described this house to me. I think it’s beautiful, and by far the most interesting house in that neighborhood.

I’ve been trying since April to put together a pretty big real estate deal and have been stymied by two real estate agents who I previously respected. My client’s offer was significantly higher than the deal these two had put … Continue reading →

Four kids arrested for pool-hopping at Innis Arden. For crimminy sake is there a suburban adult out there who didn’t pool hop in his youth? We were never caught but had we been, back then, we’d have been told to … Continue reading →
