Like many modern painters, the extremely famous Renteria had issues with women. Our writer shares a guide he picked up at Renteria’s museum.
There are not many stories that combine the Yankees, Babies Hospital, gardens, Yeats, Hello Kitty, and death. Tobias Seamon has one, and names the names.

You’re traveling and your laptop’s at home; how the hell do you share how much fun you’re having? Our writer lays out a few simple postcard templates for the rest of us to follow.
Good friends bring out the best in us. Bad friends bring out the instincts that can lead to years in prison. Our writer remembers the girl she almost stabbed.
Falling in love is no joking matter; falling in love with your best friend’s girl is ass-whuppin’ time. Our writers recall the woman that came between them.
Boredom, adventure, and mischief. Our writer remembers a past knee-deep in cockroaches, waist-high in foiled plans, and up to its neck in it and more.
Shark attacks, public gaffes, ruining a prom dress: as topics for nightmares, any may cause a bad night’s sleep. But only our writer has survived them all in full daylight, with the help of a few good men.
Everyone has a friend or relative that’s smarter, more witty, or in Mensa. Few can claim that for their dog.
Rarely should you regret albums you loved in high school. Luckily, our writer had the good sense to love the Pixies, even if they were the devil’s music. Recollections based on the eternal Doolittle.
