Celebrity Sightings

Posted on March 8th, 2010 | 19 comments

How can you top all the celebrity sightings at the Oscars? Why of course – with stories about meeting celebrities in real life!
One of my neighbors is in his sixties, and his hobby is restoring beat-up Ford Mustangs into super-charged kick-ass beyond-your-wildest dream vehicles. He’s not immune to the occasional race against a BMW’s snobby [...]

Muse

Posted on February 19th, 2010 | 12 comments

Every writer needs a muse. And I’m currently at a place where I need mine. I’m taking Friday off from the blogosphere to get some much needed a-muse-ment.
My traditional muse is a woman, someone sexy, vibrant, and fun. Whether she’s sending me dirty text messages, begging for sex on the side of the road on [...]

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.

Between two back-to-school nights this week, plus taking care of my kids and working, I need a fiesta! And so, I am declaring Friday to be Cinco de Mayo in August. I’m shaking my best margarita recipe, doing tequila shots, sipping Coronas, and taking a holiday. If I was in Mexico, you can bet I’d [...]

DNC: Clinton Shines a Light (and gets funky)

Posted on August 28th, 2008 | 11 comments

Amidst the hoopla of the Democratic National Convention’s history-making nomination of Barack Obama as the first African-American presidential candidate on a major party ticket, several Clintons made their voices heard.
There was a wonkish and funny Bill (who I shook hands with in 1992) heartily endorsing Obama.
There was a supportive and moving Chelsea (who I spied [...]

Scarlett Johansson in a Sexy Threesome

Posted on June 8th, 2008 | 19 comments

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 [...]
