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...
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...
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...
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. He's been in a slew of good movies playing minor roles but always delivering the goods. Things is, he's actually an amazingly accomplished card magician...
OK, so if you're not in the graphic design world or have never had to decide which font to use when typing something out in Word or whatever, this may not be funny to you. But damnit, Kelly (who sent me this) and I think this is some funny stuff....
Here is my column from last week. I reviewed UFC Undisputed 2010 and Backbreaker.
Here is my column from two weeks ago. I reviewed ModNation Racers and Blur. Thanks to NorthJersey.com for continuing to run the column.
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...
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...
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...
Today begins my seventh year that I'm working with Bill on the Spelling Bee. It's been a job we started doing back when we both worked at Scripps, and even though we both left that place years ago, we've found a nice little sidejob taking photos for all these newspapers...
Besides kicking some ass and posting my first sub-90 golf round of the year, I spent most of the Memorial Day weekend engaged in what the wife and I called the Scorched Earth campaign. This is our first Spring in the house, and so we were curious how quickly the...
