From The New York Shitty Inbox: A Christmas Query
A lady we’ll call D writes:
Hi Miss Heather. Longtime reader, first-time writer… I’m looking for a place to do some volunteer work with my four-year-old on Christmas. He’s got a serious case of the gimmes, and I’d like him to see what life is like for others who have less. Any suggestions? Thanks!
My knee-jerk answer would be perhaps lending a hand at our local soup kitchen/food pantry. Thoughts, anyone?

‘Tis The Season: Christmas-a-cue
While some might interpret a conspicuous display of wattage as being holiday spirit, I find the more humble and creative Christmas concoctions more compelling on occasion. CASE IN POINT: this find from North Henry Street. It has all the essential Greenpoint elements:
- Patriotism
- Barbecue
- A Santa hat
- and other pagan accouterments
Beg to differ my analysis? Why not go there and take it up the matter with the creators of this item. This Christmas-a-cue has “kick ass” written all over it. Don’t say I didn’t warn you.

From The New York Shitty Inbox, Part II: Diego Needs A Home!
Filed under: 11211, 11222, Greenpoint, Greenpoint Brooklyn, Greenpoint Magic, Williamsburg, Williamsburg Brooklyn
Rebecca (who sent the above photographs) writes:
Diego was recently deposited at my house by his owner, who has been evicted from his home and is essentially homeless for an indeterminate period of time. As I’ve known Diego since he was a puppy, I would really like to find him a home before I just leave him at the ACC or
some avenue such as that. Diego is 1.5 years old, 110lbs, fixed, housetrained, crate trained, and adorable. He has an AMAZING temperament, even for a puppy. He was trained by a horse trainer, so walks incredibly well on a leash. It makes a big difference when 110lb dog knows not to pull! Attached is a YouTube video of him playing tug-o-war with my 9-year old pit/boxer mix, and some photos. He’s great with other dogs, and lets her be dominant and put him in his place. Any help that you can provide would be GREATLY appreciated. Diego deserves a good home, and not a short life. THANKS!!!
Thanks again for your help!!!
Anyone interested in providing Diego the loving home he deserves should contact Rebecca via email at: rbeshenk(at) gmail (dot) com
Thanks!
