I have just learned that Ace Frehley (original KISS guitarist) was buried yesterday at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx! He will officially be my mother's newest neighbor!!! Insane - cuz I buried my mom in the most 'artistic section' of the Woodlawn Cemetery !!! Herman Melville (author of Moby Dick), Dorothy Parker, Miles Davis, Duke Ellington, Max Roach, Celia Cruz, my mom, and now ACE FREHLEY !!! Way to go Ma' ! I buried you in the right place, Ma'. You're surrounded by brilliance and creativity unchained! I love you forever. bye.

p.s I remember my grandmother's stories of her friendship with his mother Esther and their shopping trips to Parkchester, and her babysitting Al Pacino for his grandma, and also Whoopi Goldberg who lived in 'the projects' of the Bronx with great ambitions. Ace encompasses everything that the Bronx represented - and he makes me so damn proud to be a true Bronx boy. Jacobi Hospital, The Bronx was my birthplace!! bye again.
My mom's grave.
