I actually watched this miniseries from the Discovery Channel months ago, but since this is the 40th anniversary of the Apollo 11 moon landing, I thought I would toss out this review now. Watching a beautifully edited miniseries about NASA and its quest to reach the moon, it definitely left me in awe of the […]
OK, it’s time for the third and final installment of parenting advice for Dan and Ashley. If you missed parts 1 and 2, check them out. Good luck, Seamus, your parents may need it. […]
Growing up, I listened to a lot of west coast rap. NWA, Ice Cube, Ice T and others. I’ll be honest, I thought the lyrics were cool and the beats even better. It was just great music to play football and basketball to in my neighborhood. My friends and I once watched Colors and we […]
Renewed the man card tonight. No, I didn’t get as fancy as some people and replace an entire floor in my house. But I did participate in one of the quintessential American male activities. I put together a grill. And not some basic black thing you get for $20 at K-Mart. No way, people, I […]
In many ways society is bring back some fashion and attitudes of the ’80s. I’m not going to complain about all of this, because I never had to worry about wearing leg warmers.

I feel like Martin Sheen when he rises up from the water in Apocalypse Now. That is right, people, I have been in the shit. I entered Thunderdome. Doubt me? Just ask any of the 8 people who were around the table with us today at our house closing. I’ve seen things, man, and now […]
Time for a little pat on the back for yours truly. I did it. I cannot believe it happened, but it did. I sold one of my photos. That is right, someone actually thought my photography was worthy to hang on their wall. And it wasn’t my mother, either. It was a total stranger who […]
When I was in Denver visiting Chelsea, we were walking back from dinner when I looked up and noticed this billboard.
