Seven Year Itch, September 17, 2011
Seven Year Itch, September 17, 2011 [dcs_p]My son, Tony, tells me he's got a girl. After the Craigslist hooker tried to blackmail him, I hope he's using a little common sense with this one, but I have my doubts. Tony's a great kid, and he was going to do...
Working Girls, September 9, 2011
Working Girls, September 9, 2011 [dcs_p]Franco had a swank party last night--supposedly in honor of some pop-star who's doing the diva round, but I never heard of the girl, and I wasn't impressed when I met her. Victor thought she looked anorexic, but then, most of...
Cayman Islands, August 30, 2011
Cayman Islands, August 30, 2011 [dcs_p]Cayman Islands today to do a little banking. The thing with having money--and not all of it honestly come by--is that you have to find places to put it. So I have a meet with an international financier this morning, a man...
Hurricane Hysteria, August 25, 2011
Hurricane Hysteria, August 25, 2011 [dcs_p]Angie and Stella are in a panic because of Hurricane Irene, but now it looks as though the storm is moving north, northeast of us. Too bad for the Bahamas--they're getting blasted today. And too bad for Angie, who plans to...

Anonymous at the A1A Ale Works, August 16, 2011 [dcs_p]Lunch at the A1A Ale Works in St. Augustine. It's not Victor's cooking, but it'll do. Angie's enjoying herself, and I suppose that's what matters. We're sitting upstairs overlooking the harbor---where the Stella...
Meeting at the Ritz-Carlton, August 8, 2011
Meeting at the Ritz-Carlton, August 8, 2011 Lunch with Buddy Shuler, the radio talk-show guy at the Ritz-Carlton on A1A, where Manalapan meets Palm Beach. The Ritz is a class act and has a stellar view, but when I arrive storm clouds are swirling and jagged streaks of...
Recession Blues, Detroit, August 3, 2011
[ Recession Blues, Detroit, August 3, 2011 dcs_p]The season is on, but where's the money? The way things are around here, I'm wondering if I'm going to have any customers. Everybody in this town is crying the blues, and it's no wonder. Half the plants are closed, all...
Beach Day in Delray, July 24, 2011
Beach Day in Delray, July 24, 2011 Dog days of summer. Too hot to be in the sun; I'm lounging with Angie beneath the beach canopy. We're talking about taking the Stella di Mare up to St. Augustine for a few days. For once, everything is calm--no drama. My son-in-law...
Happy Hour at Shooters, Fort Lauderdale, July 15, 2011
Happy Hour at Shooters, Fort Lauderdale, July 15, 2011 [dcs_p]Had my crew pull the Stella di Mare into Shooters today. It's summer in south Florida, lower nineties and hazy skies. The humidity is making Victor's hair frizz, and he keeps smoothing it down. No wives...
