Memorial Day Ramblings

I just bought music for the first time since.. I seriously have zero recollection. 2008? 2009? I've been renting music since 2002? 2003? (If anything this writing has confirmed, my memory and previous knack for remembering dates no longer exists.)... Continue reading

Obama Turning Point?

Obama is at one of those crossroad moments. One like when the economy tanked in October 2008, in the final throes of the election. When McCain floundered like a dead fish trying to prove his economic concern, and Obama stayed... Continue reading

Just when I thought the race was getting boring...

America has been debating the haves and the have nots, education and taxes since our inception. And well before our independence, the Constitution or Bill of Rights, have been debating religions role in our government. Let us not forget, the... Continue reading

It's been one year to the day since I last wrote about my mother. I know only because it's my birthday - same as it was 365 days ago. Amazing how that happens, whether you like it or not. When... Continue reading

We've all had the experience of meeting up with people we haven't seen for years, where the the connection picks up immediately and the conversation flows easily. It's as if it had only been since breakfast since you last spoke.... Continue reading

Mary Tyler Moore

I was half watching the SAG awards while half reading a book, so I could catch Mary Tyler Moore get the Life Achievement Award - with Dick Van Dyke appropriately presenting. Although a bit awkward, he looked pretty damn good.... Continue reading

Not exactly clear how these guys found me, but I got an email yesterday and clicked through. It's all together possible I saw something about it, submitted my email, and summarily forgot - as I do that often. Either way,... Continue reading

Romney or Newt?

For the last four months, I've been absolutely convinced it's Romney all the way. It seemed pretty obvious that Gingrich isn't electable, and the percentage of people who don't like him - his unfavorable rating - seemed just too high... Continue reading

Why I Love Television

Growing up, my brother and I loved television. And we watched a lot of it. In some ways, looking back, I think we were studying the medium even back then - debating the characters, the shows, the plots. On Saturday... Continue reading

TV's Fall Season

Last week I was hanging out with a few girlfriends discussing the shows we like - old and new. I realized how much I haven't seen. It really was a hell of a lot easier to keep up when there... Continue reading
