Marian signs off
I was saddened to hear Marian McPartland passed away this week at age 95. My god I don't want this blog to turn into an obituary but I can't let this one go without a proper word or two. Marian was the host of "Piano Jazz" radio show for over 40 years and carried on...

Old School
Oh heck ya, it's back to school time. yay. Sorry I was never too excited to go back to school. Actually, I couldn't stand it and the mere mention of that phrase "back to school" still gives me the heebee geebees, the creepy crawlies, the dry heaves, the booloo...
14
My son, Eon is turning 14 tomorrow. God I love this kid. I can crumble into a blubbering, sobbing mess at the drop of a hat thinking about my kids. Its like that. Eon is the big brother. He's generally horrible to his little sister. I'll straight out tell him to quit...

Remembering Nora. Happy International Women’s Day
I am celebrating International Women's Day by reflecting on one of my favorite writers and directors, Nora Ephron. She died last year from some kind of leukemia. I never had the opportunity to meet her but would like to think we would have been great friends. I...
Douche Bag Phone
I have always been a gadget guy. My Dad was a gadget guy and until his passing, always gave us gadgets for gifts, instead of practical things. I've kind of continued that tradition with my kids. But what this has also done is made me want the latest tech toys before...

Dad Hat
I recently had one of those realizations that only happens when u reach a certain age. It's the age that your parents or teachers or someone that was in your life when you were a kid and you thought they were soooo old. Certainly, older than you'd ever be. Well...

Dad’s Last Gift
I've mentioned in previous posts and many of you know me personally so you may already know my Dad passed away a few months ago . Actually it was Nov 29th, 2011. He meant a lot to me and my family and although, a flawed hero to be sure, he influenced so much of who I...
Happy International Women’s Day!
That's right it's today. I can't imagine what we would do without you. Once I graduated from Creighton Prep all boys high school, I decided I'd devote the rest of my life to women, style and everything good in this world, instead of stinky smelly men. Ok perhaps...
A Year I Can’t Forget
What does the New Year mean for you? Is it just another day on the calendar or does it mark something more significant in the timeline of your life? I haven't written much throughout the holidays. For the first time in my life, New Years did mean a lot to me. Not...
