I take a pill called Shaygetsaprin a drug designed to reduce the pain and suffering not being a nice Jewish boy. I know, it is tough for everyone. Thank g-d for amazing blogs like Very Hot Jews that help me see what I could never be.

If you know me, you know I grew up in the tiny hamlet of Sugar Hill. If you have gotten me drunk or payed attention to my rambling you probably know that Sugar Hill has an interesting history full of mystery and intrigue. I’ve been using google news archives to verify some of the myths I remember hearing about my neighbor’s pasts. Surprisingly, most of them are true. In my googling a certain famous pilot I discovered a very different Sugar Hill from my own.

Sugar Hill, Harlem, N.Y.

My Sugar Hill had FBI agents, movie stars and skiing legends. This other Sugar Hill has something completely different and in my opinion much better.

My boss says it is my parent’s fault for raising me in The Secret Garden.

As a kid there were two or three abandoned gardens I regularly explored, but this was my favorite.
