Christmas in September
During his Williamsburg gallery tour yesterday, Recharger did not find Peter Caine’s “Rudolf and Friends” installation, at Jack the Pelican gallery as grotesque as, say, Christmas tourists clogging midtown with Rock Center-fuges and Fifth Avenuiusmsan. The sculpture’s singing voice, however, … Continue reading

Reason #7 to love The Rockaways
Being a dog, Recharger doesn’t wear pants, but he does, tragically, care about fashion. How, Recharger wonders, do young men in the Rockaways walk with pants to ankles? And why? This gets Recharger thinking back to June, 1993 when 296 … Continue reading
Run him over.
Next to public spats between married people, Recharger loves public spats over parking. This one happened on Third Avenue between 21st and 22nd Streets. Fat guy stood in space, reserving it for a friend. Fat lady with SUV took exception. … Continue reading

Recharger has attended a number of West Indian Day Parades–in the rain, the merciless sun, the temperate wisps of autumn–made his way a full mile down Eastern Parkway, past hundreds of routi and craft-jewelry stands, and in all those years, … Continue reading
