1. Francis Bacon, The Painter; John Edwards, My Friend
October 01, 2013
"Lustaholics?"
"Yeah, the place is crawling with them."
The place referred to was the 3rd floor of a popular mall in Pattaya, Thailand. Pattaya is about a two hour drive south-east of Bangkok and might best be described as a Disneyland of carnal delights for Western thrill seekers rang...

2. Brutish Congress
September 15, 2013
Milton described it as a "brutish congress" with "two carcasses chained unnaturally together." Now, despite the bickering of a regularly constipated Eliot or feisty little Pound, there is no denying that John Milton was a great poet. Some have contended that he was the greatest of all English Poets....

3. The Daily Pageant - Kampot, Cambodia Edition
September 13, 2013
'The Daily Pageant' is devoted to chronicling news, sports and weather and was first established on the idyllic island of Koh Samui in the Gulf of Siam. There was never a shred of truth to anything published in 'The Daily Pageant' and nobody on the island ever read it but, I got a kick out of writin...

4. Campion Jesuit Prep School: Part 1 & 2
September 08, 2013
Campion Jesuit Prep School Part I
Today is the 89th anniversary of my father's birthday. And, he would be 89 years old today if it weren't for the fact that he died 33 years ago. Still, I always manage to remember his birthday. Odd that he has now been dead for more years than I knew him when...

5. A Man Obsessed With Handicaps
August 23, 2013
Sidney is a friend of mine from Chicago who now resides in Arizona. Since retiring from a billboard construction business he has occupied himself with two primary concerns…his golf game and his health. I suspect that he exaggerates his handicaps with regard to both issues. In an e-mail that I...

6. Chicago's Second City Theatre And Paul Sills
August 20, 2013
"Something wonderful right away." That was the motto of a theatre director I studied with for a year in Chicago. His name was Paul Sills. His mother was Viola Spolin. She and Stella Adler were the theatre workshop divas of New York in the 1950's. She had written a book called 'Improvisation for the ...

7. 1st Year Wedding Anniversary
August 13, 2013
Two days from now my wife and I will have been married for one year. Nak has become increasingly excited about the anniversary the nearer it gets. It's a really big deal for her. I mean, OK, it's a big deal for me too but, I haven't been losing sleep over it. I'm too busy losing sleep about the fact...

8. Round & Round We Go
July 29, 2013
Finally realized that I was beginning to overcome my fear of death as I lay in bed one morning last week. I forget what day it was…maybe Tuesday. I regularly lay in bed for a couple of hours after waking up. Reassembling myself into an upright position following the usual ten plus hours of un...

9. It Happened One Night...Sort Of
July 27, 2013
"We could sit here and have another drink. We could go swimming. We could make out for a while. Or we could just say 'goodnight, sleep well, see you tomorrow.'"
"I think it already is tomorrow. And what you mean, 'make out'?"
"It's an American expression. It means 'to kiss.'"
"I...

10. Legends of Thailand: Jim Thompson & John Fowler
July 07, 2013
One of the features of this wooden bungalow that I appreciate the most is the bedroom window. It faces west towards Bokor Mountain and is fronted by a small mangrove from which sprouts ferns and palms and other green foliage indigenous to Southeast Asia. A couple of papaya trees also make up part of...
