Wednesday, July 13th, 2005Our LA LA interns returned to Cali today. To Edgar, Michelle, Joe, Artia, April, Ignacio, Kristin, Gayleah, and Yolanda: you will be missed.

Perspective, part two
Wednesday, July 6th, 2005After the commotion of the Crusade and Xcel’s June calendar, I took Thursday and Friday off to extend the holiday weekend and hopefully get some rest.

First they shared their story. Both husband and wife are LES lifers, born and raised. He and his five brothers were thugs, running a wholesale drug business that [...]

Monday, June 13th, 2005On the first Sunday of every November for the last 36 years, the greatest city in the world effectively shuts down in order to accomodate 35,000 crazies who want to run outside my apartment building for the annual New York City Marathon. It’s quite a sight. For nearly an hour a seemingly endless mob of [...]
