I have the good fortune of knowing people all over the globe. One of my best friends in England introduced me to this band years ago. The problem with knowing really great bands from the other side of the planet, is that none of their music sold here. They tour the UK and Germany, so [...]

Recently, for my aunt’s 90th birthday, my cousins all plotted and schemed and asked me to put together a presentation for the party with all of the ancient family history and photos. It was a fun project. My cousins contributed too, but I took advantage of the effort and while I was scanning all those [...]

I like to think I’m a decent writer. I work at writing, I work at finding a style without losing my personal voice. Some days I work at it more than others. There are a few websites where I go for ideas, writing prompts, and just general inspiration. One of those sites is Cafe Writing. [...]

That’s me, hitting the wall with NaBlo posts. I’m not feeling well, so I’m going to pretend that I didn’t look out my 11th floor office window and see unidentifiable white fluffy cold stuff blowing horizontally between buildings today, and I’m also going to pretend that I got more than 3 hours sleep last night.

I finally got around to making the beans that I bought a month ago. This will be lunch all week, because roomie doesn’t like beans aparently unless they’re BBQ beans, then they’re ok? Occasionally he’s goofy. These are my version of red beans and rice. I wasn’t born in the south, although I’m descended from [...]

…I brought another human being into the world. Contrary to what she thinks, I didn’t really make the doctors wait until Magnum PI was over to bring her into the world. After 40 hours of labor, the last ten of which were on Pictocin, the baby was sufficiently in distress and the doctors finally gave [...]

It’s a weird little world we live in. Todays news had all of these stories: Some priest thinks that people that voted for Obama need to repent before they take communion or they will go to hell because Obama supports choice. There’s a church that’s all about togetherness, and love, huh? Smarter preachers think that [...]

Today I was given a gift. My company, the company that I work at, is like many others these days, pulling in, running lean and fast, and everyone is either “on the bus” working their tails off or they’re on the “sales prevention team” and those people generally don’t last too long. The upper management [...]

The neighborhood that I grew up in was predominantly Catholic due to the proximity of the second largest basilica in the City. We were one of the few protestant families, and down the street, at the other end of my block, lived the only Jewish family that I knew up until my early adulthood. Mr [...]
