Been a busy boy and the movies are backing up. Three this week. Two I really liked and one that was...eh. Let's get the disappointment out of the way first. Reign Over Me - (2007) There were three little words that put this movie in a hole right from the start. "Adam Sandler Movie". I... Continue Reading →
Sometimes my post are linked from week to week. That's because so many of the things in my life are linked. Last week it was the guitar. This week it's Music. I have sung most of my life. For years my mother offered to pay for singing lessons when I was a teen and I... Continue Reading →
It's taken three weeks and I figured I'd have absolutely no chance at happiness. I mean it was my birthday weekend. How likely was it that I'd manage to lose some weight. I lost 2 pounds. Can't explain it, won't argue with it. Ate reasonably well, got some exercise. It worked. I like it. Weekly... Continue Reading →

Bishop's Ball which throws me out of schedule and routine and the Super Bowl where, well, it's just not weight loss friendly unless you're willing to sit there and have no fun. I didn't pig out but I didn't do real well. So in... Continue Reading →
If you grew up in the 1960's (as I largely did) your musical life was probably dominated by one instrument. The guitar. I not only had the influence of electric guitar in most popular music but also the acoustic guitar. My parents enjoyed folk music and my father was a self taught acoustic player. To...

Four Brothers - (2005) - This was a weekend movie channel discovery. Nothing better to do, saw Mark Wahlberg in the credits and thought "Why not?". The movie is about four troubled boys adopted by their foster mom. She raises them to be honorable if not exactly law abiding. They are family, first, last and... Continue Reading →
