sorry–today i have to write the index, get to work on my book, and read, sign, notarize my final divorce docs. then i have a jew ping-pong event at lincoln center.

i don’t know what kind of cliche i am, but it ain’t a good one, especially as i’m writing this from a cafe at which i am sharing a table with a woman with a matching mac laptop and having unpure thoughts about her.

and thus ends the wasting of time.

  1. A Jew Ping Pong Event? Why does it have to be related to religion? Isn’t it just about the game or is it about Jewish people playing ping pong? Or is it only allowed for Jewish people?

    Scary…

  2. Ramon–it’s related to my book. It’s an event in support of a book called “Everything is Ping Pong,” which is being published by a Jewish non-profit whose director I am writing about. That and because my book is about Jewish identity makes pretty much everything I do Jew-event. No offense. –Theodore

  3. Having formerly been in on these conversations, I will assure your readership that this is actually how Dadwagon gets made. They’re not kidding.

  4. Hahahahaha!! Love it. 🙂 The jew ping pong, the impure thoughts about the mac lady, the not being able to write daddy stuff because daddying is getting in the way.

    Awesome.

    Y’all crack me up.
