Ah, Super Tuesday. The talking heads will be all atwitter watching the polls in 22 states and waiting to see which Democrat/Republican comes out on top at the end of today’s primary bonanza.
There will be a news blackout in this house (as always) until after 10pm. I can’t stand play-by-plays, so watching the talking heads […]

Let me just start by saying, “Ouch!”. The game, last night, was brutal. The New York Giants laid a huge “smackdown” on the New England Patriots. They were thisclose to making history and then “Whoops!”…too bad, so sad…
I was rooting for the Patriots (even though I’m a Denver Broncos fan), but thank […]

I am so excited, I can hardly contain myself. Today, is Super Bowl Sunday; the day when all the most funny commercials premiere on television! I can’t wait to watch them.

That’s right: The half-time show!

There is something to be said for the healing properties of a little music, a lot of laughter, and excellent company. I’m still not a hundred percent, but I am feeling much better today than yesterday.
I’ve got two more nights of partying working ahead of me, so I should be feeling completely gang-busters by Sunday.
I […]

Never one to do anything half-way, I am preparing to work for the next three days and still feeling like Mother Nature does not like me very much. But, the show must go on, as they say.
It kind of reminds me of what my grandmother used to tell me when I was young, “If […]

Who needs television when you have the blogosphere?
Despite pretty much being bedridden for the last four days and pretty much “watching” my favorite music channel on my HD-cable (I’m sure SSG Dizzy is rolling his eyes going “we spend how much on cable so you can “watch” a listening channel all day, every day???). It’s […]

Excuse the lateness of my blogging. Mother Nature is kicking my behind and I decided that I needed to just curl up for a few days until the butt-kicking subsided.
I have been ill, but I haven’t been completely out of the loop. It’s looking a lot like the world is in free-fall, financially, and the […]

Thursday, Thursday, Thursday! My favorite day of the week. I get to be the center of attention. I get to sing all night. I get entertained by sobriety-challenged singers. AND…I get paid for the privilege! Yes, I have a semi-charmed life.
Just to give you an idea of what I […]

Wednesday? Wednesday! Yes! We are so close to the weekend now, I can almost taste it!
Did you guys catch the Democratic debate in Nevada, last night? I missed it, but I wonder, did it look anything like this: ダンボールの攻防: Attack and Defense?
My big news involves yours truly, my chosen political party, a podium, and a […]

At their annual convention on Friday, The American Dialect Society chose ’subprime’ as the 2007 word of the year. It’s a word that seems to be on everyone’s lips and minds these days in the wake of the mortage crisis.
“‘Subprime’ has been around with bankers for awhile, but now everyone is talking about ’subprime,’” said […]

It was October 2004. I had come to this beautiful rural retreat in the Berkshires to hear Robert Bly and Coleman Barks conduct a seminar on “the poetry of the ecstatic.” Barks had become famous over the years for his translations of the Sufi mystic poet, Rumi and Robert Bly …well, he was Robert Bly.

With the writer’s strike in play, the nation has been badly missing its nightly dose of John Stewart, especially when it comes to those clips showing a series of one pundit after another banally repeating the same talking points with overwrought intensity. What has particularly been driving me crazy these past few days is hearing […]
