    Russian Potato Dumplings - The New Hampshire Gazette (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I inherited a “fat gene” from my mother. She was maybe 5’4” or 5’5”. When she got married in 1943, she weighed 103 pounds. When she died in 1990, she weighed over 300 pounds. Her younger brother was in ROTC in college, so he couldn’t have been too heavy back then, but by the time I was old enough to remember him, he was badly overweight, obese really. Others of her siblings had weight problems, too. In 9th grade, at age 14, I had a double chin and used to have to buy my clothing in what were cal

    Trying to Avoid Giving Up - The New Hampshire Gazette (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I have to confess that I have been struggling mightily for the past few months to resist giving in to utter despair. There’s no future in that. But increasingly I find myself thinking that there’s really no future worth bothering about. I just can’t shake the feeling that things in this country are not going to get any better. Remember when we thought no president could possibly get any worse, be any more evil, than Richard Milhous Nixon, whom I took to calling King Richard the Milhous? And then

    Farewell, Beanie - The New Hampshire Gazette (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Last Friday was a very sad day for me, my wife Anne, and my daughter Leela. We had to euthanize our cat Beanie, who had been with us for nearly 22 years. That’s almost half of Anne’s and my 45 years of marriage. And as anyone who’s ever loved a pet knows, Beanie was a member of our family. She wasn’t like a family member; she was a family member. Our daughter Leela and her then-boyfriend found Beanie in the boyfriend’s yard one cold November night when Beanie was maybe five weeks old and weighed

    Sexual Peccadilloes of Public People - The New Hampshire Gazette (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    So much for ex-Marine oysterman and working-class hero Graham Platner’s bid to unseat the sleazy weaselly Susan Collins in the U.S. Senate. Another American male undone by his inability to keep his pants up. It just amazes me—indeed, leaves me breathless and flabbergasted—how often men seem to be incapable of resisting the desire to engage in sequel activity at inappropriate times and with inappropriate partners. Don’t misunderstand me. Ever since I hit puberty about 64 years ago, I’ve enjoyed s

    What Rawand Dreams Of - The New Hampshire Gazette (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Readers who have followed my writing in the New Hampshire Gazette will perhaps recall that I have written multiple times in the past few years about my unusual friendship with a young Palestinian woman named Rawand Gawad Abu Ghanem, to whom I was first introduced by way of the scholar Lorrie Goldensohn and the playwright Naomi Wallace. Because Rawand can only text and I can only e-mail, all of our communication has been through Naomi. I’ve never met Rawand, nor even spoken to her, and probably n
