For some reason, I haven’t taken the time to review some of the movies I have seen this year. So let’s knock them all out in one post. Valentine’s Day – We actually saw this on Feb. 14 in a theater full of teenage couples, which made me feel a little old, but that’s beside […]
Things started out pretty well last Wednesday. Maria and I both got moving a little earlier than usual. Before I knew it, I was all ready to leave for work 10 minutes before usual. I putzed around the house a little any way. My iPod wasn’t going to load itself. Regardless, I strolled out the […]
Something remarkable happened in a very unremarkable fashion 30 years ago tonight. A young woman named Kathleen O’Brien threw herself a birthday party. From all reports, she wanted it to rival any party that Athens, Ga., had ever seen. She arranged for some bands to play, including one which featured her two roommates at the […]
The stars recently fell in perfect alignment – my daughter’s Girl Scout camping trip coincided with opening night for Hot Tub Time Machine. I knew from the moment I saw the first trailer, I would at least get a kick out of the movie. Now, I can pretty much say that taking The Brian away […]
I think everyone who went to college had a rich buddy who never listened to anyone. He had enough money to make his mistakes negligible. Wreck a car? Dad will get him a new one. Trash his apartment during a party? Ask Mom for money for something else and use it to re-furnish. No decision […]

When we suffer a tragic loss, the best way to move on is to find meaningful something to fill the void. I can’t wait for that part if the grieving process. With the nice weather a week or so ago, I decided we needed to cook out on the grill. After all, we could run […]
When I first got out of college 20 years ago, I wanted to find ways to stay involved with wrestling. I couldn’t decide between officiating and coaching so I did the sensible thing – I did both. That lasted for two seasons when work and life made it clear that I had to give up […]
I hate conspiracy theories. I generally find them lazy, immature and selfish. I hate when people feel the need to assign blame to something only they can understand instead of just playing the hand they are dealt. But when it comes to fiction, a whacko conspiracy theory can help paint quite an entertaining picture. In […]
We have a crisis on our hands in America, people. We need to rise up together and make things right. Everywhere I look, I see people arguing about all sorts of things. No one can agree on health care or national defense or how to deal with our economic problems. Everyone thinks they have the […]
