A Band for All Ages

Posted on February 4th, 2010 | 14 comments

Last week, the director of my thirteen-year-old son’s middle school band had them play with the local high school band. Fun stuff, and a chance for the younger kids to hear what it’s like to play with better musicians. But why stop there?
Last night, they played with a local adult community band.
We’re talking the whole [...]

Posted on November 20th, 2009 | 15 comments

There’s a man who is totally smitten with a woman. Calling him lovestruck doesn’t give his feelings justice. He literally cannot live without her, he is that head over heels in love.

Want to grab a single dad’s undivided attention? Put Scarlett Johansson in a sexy threesome with Penelope Cruz. It doesn’t matter who the third wheel is – single dads and single men the world over will fantasize themselves in the role.
I’m guessing Woody Allen knew that when he filmed the sexy sirens in a threesome [...]

Pass the Kleenex, I’m Tearing Up
