Friday, April 30th, 2010Life and death summed up in a few paragraphs
Colin was seven or eight years older than me – I don’t know for sure because I don’t know his birthday. I know he was seven or eight because he had made his communion in the Summer of 1971 on the same day I was christened. Colin couldn’t make his communion with his class […]

As a child, I lived in Sunset Park with my family. When I moved out, I found Borough Park to be VERY affordable. I found a house with my friends within walking distance from where I work. People told me I wouldn’t like it there because the people there are different. I’ve been around so many […]
