Sometimes I wonder what a good friend is. Sometimes I wonder if I’m a good friend. (I’m serious.) Today my friend in Harlem was sick. This is the first time I’ve ever seen him sick. Apparently, he gets sick about once every twenty years or so. I haven’t known him for twenty years. I made [...]

You get into a tiff with a friend over something truly stupid. I mean something so stupid you feel stupid just repeating it out loud. Something like “you walked right by me and didn’t say hello, you jackass!”…
