I have been working on updating my Tony posting.  It just takes a while when you’re working with an old machine and limited resources.  (Meaning time.  It’s harder to come by than a string bikini in Iran!)
My point is, thank you for your patience.  Any thoughts on the nominations yet?  I’m curious to see what [...]

When is a fondue party no longer a fondue party? When it becomes a faux bachelorette party, of course!
Allow me to set the scene for you. First, we must take a trip back in time. Back to a simpler era. Back to the days of Nirvana (the group, not the state of mind). Back to [...]

We are living in scary times.  I think we can all agree that things are getting a little harried.  Prices of everything are on the rise and the current state of the world is unnerving at best.  As we enter into the holiday season, it can be easy to let our concerns take over. And with [...]

I’ve been working on a posting about Christmas.  I recently decorated my tree and my house is full to the brim with cookies, but I can’t really bring myself to be too involved in that right now.
I just learned that a coworker of mine has passed away.  I did not know her exceptionally well, but [...]

For months now we’ve heard the Republican campaign try to discredit Barack Obama as a flash in the pan celebrity.  They’ve mocked the DNC’s exuberance (see the comment my father left on this site), and a few months ago McCain was facing negative press as his “Celebrity” ad which compaired Obama to the likes of Brittany Spears and Paris Hilton came [...]

Those of you who took a look at this page in the last hour may have seen a posting in which I responded to the political views of someone I’d never met.  While I never mentioned a name or a direct quote, I used his arguments as a foil to my own without permission. 
I have [...]

It is my birthday today.  I am lucky to be blessed with a rockin’ family so I’ve actually been celebrating since Friday while on vacation.  So far I’ve danced on a bar at Coyote Ugly, had Sinatra sung to me by a rock band in Nashville, had killer fried cheesecake, and spent a great time [...]

Did you know that the national observance of Father’s Day wasn’t officially set until 1972?  It had been in the works since 1909 when a woman who had been raised by her father was listening to a sermon on Mother’s Day.  She decided that it was important to recognize her father for all he had [...]

Ok, so I only have the one niece.  And she hasn’t been born yet.  Still, I feel an attachment to this child.  For years we worried about the after effects that would rain upon the heads of modern civilization if the world were to see my brother breed.  Now that fear has been allayed somewhat [...]

Ok folks.  What you are about to read is a tribute to my grandmother written two days before she passed away.  It was not written with the intention of sharing it, but I’ve been asked by those I love to let others take a look.  Please read it carefully.  It’s long.  Probably the longest thing [...]
