Today I had to walk all over my medical campus for meetings. I kept running into a young man carrying a huge US flag. Every person he passed he said Happy Veteran's Day. Walking to the subway today I passed him again, on the corner of the VA hospital, waving his flag. He was a vet. Afghanistan. We God-blessed each other.
I am so grateful for him and all the others who serve to keep us free. Peace...
This is one of my favorite pictures of Frank Sinatra. Oozes atmosphere. It was taken on the set of "Marriage on the Rocks," a 1965...
BUKOWSKI'S BASEMENT
Welcome to Bukowski's Basement and the blog of Anthony Venutolo. It's primarily a showcase for nuggets that can range from anywhere from Skid Row to the Savoy in the form of poems, flash fiction, noir or pop culture musings.
Feel free to pour some cheap hooch and settle in because this is a place to celebrate all things wondrous in the whiskey-soaked literary landscape of Chuck Buk, Jack Kerouac, Tom Waits and Raymond Carver.
