And then some choice current-day (2007) appearances of The Man doing "Pipeline" with "Hava Nagila" and "California Sun." Look at him still kickin' ass on THE BEAST 10 years later.... ROCK ON, DICK! (At The Surf Club, Ortley Beach, NJ-- 5/29/07.) (And at B.B. King's, NYC, two days earlier-- 5/27/07.)

BOOKS, BOOKS, and more BOOKS! I have an INSATIABLE APPETITE for the written word! (Alas, I am a scribe.) MUSIC, MUSIC, and more MUSIC! (Hence my enormous CD collection, which contains a gloriously obscene amount of '80s music.) Perrusing bookstores (my second home) for hours, sitting in Barnes & Noble's cafe or Starbucks, writing, waxing poetic, expounding liberally, pontificating vehemently, while sipping a Frappe. Perrusing the back roads of life and going biking, walking, or hiking along pastoral vistas or majestic bodies of water. PHOTOGRAPHY. Be it the Meadowlands, the Jersey Shore, or local natural treasures. And most of all.... finding the absurd in the mundane. I have a wry wit that doesn't quit.
