Too Many Thoughts

So things have been a little busy lately. Fighting off my allergies and dealing with a sick kid for part of the weekend have left me with little time to do much here. So here’s what is on my mind. I’m going to be obsessing about Tullycraft’s new album for a while. I think I […]

Tradition Has Its Place

When Maria and I first talked about getting married, we looked at where we might want to live. We had lived in Hanover for a few years each, but didn’t know if this is where we wanted to settle permanently. The longer we thought about it, however, the more we realized we didn’t want to […]

Kid Nation Rules

I didn’t think I would feel this way, but “Kid Nation” has become one of my favorite TV appointments each week. That goes double for this week’s episode when the kids rebel against the leaders and hold elections for each team’s leader. The show has received some bad press because of the nature of the […]

The Dan Band is Coming

Sometimes just a little piece of news can make my entire day. That happened  little while ago this morning. The Dan Band is coming to Baltimore. You may think you don’t know The Dan Band, but you do if you have ever seen “Old School.” They played the band that played at Frank the Tank‘s […]

Music to My Ears

A parent has many proud moments as they watch their child grow up. Their first words, their first steps, their first day at school. I recently watched as another milestone in Bridget’s life passed by – the moment I realized she might have good taste in music.

ITEOTWAWKI: Not Again

The new live CD/DVD from R.E.M. comes out next week, but that’s not the big news coming out of Athens. The band lent a song from its planned 2008 release to a CNN special on global warming. I have no quibble with the band’s politics. In fact, one of the reasons I like them, but […]

Looking for a Beating

Vegas stories coming later, I promise, but I had to share this one. We had a stopover on the way home in Indy. After a long delay, they let people board for the trip to Baltimore. One dude got on the plane wearing a t-shirt and shorts. I pegged him at late 20s, early 30s. […]
