ÒYou got to look for the ducks and put the ducks in the pocket.”
Remind me not to write about an 84 year-old pool player from Barbados again. This is seriously the hardest story I’ve ever had to write.

Fun with Skype, Not so fun with United
Last night I had a great dinner at the Breuer residence, where I wished Noah a great time in his upcoming year in Kyoto Seika University to study Japanese printmaking. Good luck! While I was there, serving as the Mac-fix-it-guy-in-residence pretty much wherever I go, I was able to resolve two problems Noah and his Dad were wondering about. The first was getting a clock program so that Noah and Dad could know what time it was in Berkeley and…

My stint in California
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again for the record: Congrats to Maria and Alex! We all love you and wish you all the best! Bon voyage! The wedding was great: food, friends and fun. I won’t go into the details of it, but I did manage to keep my new suit clean. 🙂 I got a call yesterday from someone who I emailed about serving as a French tutor for a high school student in Brooklyn a…

“Bush: Out of my bush! Bush: out of my bush!”
A small collection of the best photos that I took at the Axis of Eve panty flash in Battery Park this evening. This was easily the most entertaining event of the RNC Week. Heading back to Berkeley in a few hours — which seems like the more appropriate place for this sort of thing. Update: From: eve@axisofeve.org Subject: Re: Photos from the Panty Flash Date: September 2, 2004 2:32:09 AM EDT To: cfarivar@cfarivar.org Reply-To: info@axisofeve.org Cyrus Eve : Your photos…

First W and now P?
George P. Bush, son of Gov. Jeb Bush (R-FL) and his Mexican-born wife Columba Bush and nephew of Pres. George W. Bush, and grandson of former Pres. George H. W. Bush addressed the RNC tonight in NYC. A search of “George P. Bush” on Google reveals this gem from the annals of Bush history: CNN, August 4, 2000 Thursday’s appearance is not George P. Bush’s first time in the convention limelight. “P” stepped onto the national scene at the 1988…

“If you speak two languages you’re bilingual. If you speak one language — you’re American.”
And such was the prophetic wisdom of Abdoulaye Diawara, an octolingual cab driver that drove Dallas and Martin and I back from Spanish Harlem on Friday night back to my apt. I was wearing a bootleg replica jersey of Khalilou Fadiga, No. 10. “What is that, Diouf?” he said, referring to the most well-known Senegalese soccer star. “No, Fadiga,” I replied, leaning into the window of the cab. I smiled. “Na nga def?” I asked, switching to Wolof. His eyes…
