As most people know, I’ve had a soft spot for Goofy. I still drink out of a Goofy mug at work (one that I’ve had since high school in an homage to Clark Griswold’s Marty Moose mug), and I have a different Goofy mug that I will use at home on the weekends when having […]
After all the rumors and the stops and starts, Hollywood has indeed decided to proceed with ripping out the soul of my childhood once again. This time, they are moving ahead with the remake of Footloose. When they couldn’t find a director for the longest time, and when that Disney-fied little bubblegum boy Efron bailed […]
Tonight continues my season of concerts. So far this summer I have seen The National for a second time and also seen Frightened Rabbit. Next up is the Silversun Pickups, and as the young folks say, they rock. I’m not a big fan of DAR as a concert hall, because it removes the energy in […]
I’m a big Ricky Jay fan. If you don’t know him, I won’t hate you for it, but you’re shamed because by now you should.

It never fails that when we have big family reunions up in New Jersey, someone will say something that gets the whole place rolling in laughter and it becomes a pseudo-theme for the weekend. What was shocking about this particular trip was that the random comment where laughter ensued came from my grandmother. The reunion […]
I don’t remember when I first watched the Winnebago Man clip at the bottom, but it was a long time ago. But I do remember that it reminded me why I left Kentucky (with its copious amounts of RV ads for RV dealers in southern Indiana) and also that this guy may be one of […]
You gotta love kids. They sometimes forget where they are. Like in the case of Kenley Farace. He was the 20th speller to compete, so obviously pretty early in the competition, where at 8:20 in the morning people are still sipping their coffee and getting into the day. He walks up on the stage and […]
