Friends Don't Let Friends Cockblock Goldiggers

About Me


Comic, retired lawyer blindish (Retinitis Pigmentosa so I have Xray vision but not at night) and all-around good time. I am a member of the Arsenal, a comedhy troupe here in SF, and can be found adoing standup around town.

Dorothy Parker meets Maude Lebowski. League leader in career retirements. What I lack in great vision I compensate for by an "enhanced sense of touch". Or so They say. I invented "Jesii" and if you dispute this, well, then, cite please.
I enjoy dogs, seventies game shows, The Office reruns, burritos and manipulating mental midgets.

My Interests

Standup comedy, live music, all things dogs, travel and sleep.

I'd like to meet:

Someone with an extra bed in Manhattan.

Music:

Foregone Conclusion , Black Crowes, Grateful Dead, Red Hot Chili Peppers, North Mississippi Allstars, Sheryl Crow, Lucinda Williams, Fiona Apple for starters

Movies:

Lebowski, Living in Oblivion, most things Christopher Guest, Office Space, Goodfellas, Walking and Talking

Television:

My televisioncredits, well, appearances, include: The Skipper Chuck Show, Captain Kangaroo, news show featuring a clip of me scratching my chin at the 1990 Connecticut Democratic Convention, Win Ben Stein's Money (the Jimmy Kimmel years), and an opinion piece on a DC news affiliate on taking the Washingon Metro during brutal winter conditions. Favorite shows include tennis Grand Slam fortnights, Match Game, Match Game PM. Match Game 77, Curb, and, of course, Seinfeld. I no longer watch American Idol. Baby's all growns up.

Books:

My current short list is anything by Auguesten Burroughs and David Sedaris, whose humor, honesty and absurdity I admire tremendously. I love John Irving but have not been able to pick up his latest for some reason

Heroes:

Larry David, Martina Navratilova, Sheryl Crow, Edie Sedgwick (stylistically) and John Leguizamo. And Brett Somers.
