Pink

Work on the nursery is finally coming to a close. Hopefully this weekend the tremendous task of removing inch-thick velvet wallpaper, washing off 30-year old glue, sanding down the “textured” ceiling, skim-coating everything with joint compound, priming all surfaces, painting the walls and ceiling, and installing wainscotting will come to an end. And hopefully a [...]

Only me…

I didn’t bring an extra battery with me for my camera. I forgot to check the charge on the battery that was already in my camera. That meant that I didn’t get to take many photos tonight. Where was I? At Maxwell’s watching motherf’ing Moby shred the stage apart. Me. The guy who carries over [...]

How to win me over…

If you’re a waitress, and you see me looking over a menu indecisively, and you’re about to offer me a special that includes the words “three meat” and “wrapped in bacon”, just stop. Turn around. Go back to the kitchen and get me one. Don’t waste our time pretending that I might order the scallop [...]

With a little bit of trepidation…

I always have grand plans - and they never quite pan out. A couple years ago, when I first picked up my current domain name, I had a few other ideas for things I wanted to do online. If you saw my host’s control panel you’d see about 5 or 6 domains just waiting for [...]

Now, why should you care? No reason, really, but I wanted to make sure that Chris saw this and was forced to acknowledge my greatness. Alright, in reality the milestone is [...]

No Stairway? Denied!

No longer…

And if you haven’t had a chance to see the 1 minute pro-shot clip of “Black Dog”:

Please, oh please, come to Madison Square Garden! I’m sure I can skip paying my mortgage that month!

I think I forgot the lyrics

We actually caught an episode of “Don’t Forget the Lyrics” - I know, what a fantastically creative name. This is a great show for The Woman because she can sing well and knows tons of lyrics. It’s terrible for me because… well… I can’t sing, and I tend to know a lot of bogus lyrics. [...]

New Jersey sucks

For the second time this year, I found myself accompanying The Woman for a “musical experience” at NJPAC - that’s the New Jersey Performing Arts Center for you non-locals. The first one was an orchestrated version of Led Zeppelin - which was a lot of fun. This time it was Rain: The Beatles Experience. The [...]
