THE HEARSES OF NEW JERSEY

Faith and I were walking home this morning, and our street was clogged with funeral traffic, led by a traditional black hearse, followed by a truck bearing a Kentucky Derby-size floral arrangement. Then bunches and bunches of cars. That's when it struck me: it is impossible for an SUV to look stately.

I was born in NYC, grew up in Pittsburgh, escaped to Brooklyn, and now live in Hoboken, NJ, with my red-headed husband and my pitbull/beagle. Watch this space My Fat Cat and My Fat Dog, diet and exercise books for pudgy pets. I teach and I write: interactive design, screenwriting (there's a character named after me in a Mel Gibson movie), and fiction (my work's appeared in Best American Erotica three times). mgarveynyc at yahoo dotcom

I'm a native New Yorker who grew up in Pittsburgh, and now lives in New Jersey, gazing at that fantastic Manhattan skyline every day. I am unreasonably optimistic and welcome e-mail from animal lovers, movie fiends, coffee addicts, and registered voters: mgarveynyc at yahoo dot com.
