The tie that bonds, the bond that ties

The New Neo Posted on June 7, 2006 by neoSeptember 18, 2007

I found them deep in the bottom of the safe deposit box, put there so long ago they’d been virtually forgotten. Three US Savings Bonds, gifts to me on the occasion of my birth. The denominations didn’t seem huge: 100, … Continue reading →

For Mother’s Day: mothers and babies

The New Neo Posted on May 14, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Okay, who are these three dark beauties? A hint: one of them is the very first picture you’ve ever seen on this blog of neo-neocon, sans apple. Not that you’d recognize me, of course. Even my own mother might not … Continue reading →

Pubescent rites of passage: coming of age in Astoria (and elsewhere)

The New Neo Posted on May 11, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Today, reading Fausta’s reminiscences about the coming-of-age party for girls in the Hispanic community known as the quinceaé±ero, I was reminded of–well, of lots of things, which I’ll get to in due course. But first, Fausta quoting the NY Times … Continue reading →

I don’t know about you, but I’m not the most organized of people. Oh, I’m not all that bad. My desk doesn’t pile up too much before I clear it. You can walk a straight line through my house and … Continue reading →

Weaving the tangled web of deception: confessions of an April fool

The New Neo Posted on April 2, 2006 by neoNovember 23, 2024

Well, it’s the morning after (or, rather, the afternoon after). And in the sober light of a non-April Fool’s Day, as I reflect back on my little prank of yesterday, I’m chastened. Chastened, but still a neo-neocon. I had no … Continue reading →

Exclusive: neo-neocon rerats

The New Neo Posted on April 1, 2006 by neoAugust 17, 2007

[HINT: note the date] If you’re a regular reader here, you probably already know that Winston Churchill is my idol– well, one of my idols, anyway, along with all the contestants on “American Idol.” One of Churchill’s many famous quotes … Continue reading →

Magritte would not be pleased, and neither is neo-neocon: the apple transformed

The New Neo Posted on March 27, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

The apple–and most particularly that tart green variety known as the Granny Smith (and there really was a Granny Smith, by the way)–is an especially beautiful fruit. With color, shape, healthfulness, and taste, the apple has it all. Just ask … Continue reading →

First sign of spring: ice cream in New England

The New Neo Posted on March 9, 2006 by neoApril 25, 2011

Last night, as I was driving home at 7 PM in the dark and the cold, I saw some lights up ahead where there hadn’t been any lights for a while. It took a moment for it to penetrate my … Continue reading →

Why don’t I write about (take your pick)

The New Neo Posted on March 6, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Sweets for the sweet: chocolate and its rivals

The New Neo Posted on March 1, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

In my recent post about chocolate and its supposed health benefits, reader Ben-David has this to say: I think your [inability to eat chocolate] can be seen as a spur to creativity. So many unimaginative menus conclude with a chocolate … Continue reading →

Death by Chocolate?–not

The New Neo Posted on February 28, 2006 by neoJuly 25, 2009

Dancer from the dance

The New Neo Posted on February 20, 2006 by neoDecember 23, 2009
