I didn’t drink green beer on Saint Patrick’s day, but I did have a few martinis. And so, rather than write a cogent blog post, I’ll pimp one of my favorite Irish bands.
U2? Nah. The Pogues? Been there, done that!
Today, I give you the Waterboys, Bang on the Ear. Give it a listen. It might [...]
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 [...]

“That’s famous!”
My dad played [...]

The best way to cap off an excellent week is with some fabulous music – don’t you think?
