Over These Cookies I Shed A Tiny Tear

If you’re a sane individual, as I reckon you are, this is probably going to sound way loopy. Two nights ago while falling asleep I found myself getting a bit choked up.  It wasn’t about my children finally figuring out that I’m nothing special or my wife realizing her marital […]

Family Friendly Philly Fringe Fest

Try saying that five times real fast! I’m going to assume the words family friendly aren’t the first into your mind when you think Fringe Fest or even when you conjure up images of contemporary performance art.  It’s okay.  I don’t blame you.  But this year’s Philadelphia Live Arts & […]

Revisiting One of My Favorites

Read this.  Then return.  I’ll wait… Done?  Good.  Continue… One year later, I’ve yet to pull off anything spectacular.  I guess I was kinda close to making a Brewers v. Phillies / Packers opening kickoff getaway happen for next week but really I could make the money or the times […]

WordGirl Word Of The Month With Al Roker

This couldn’t be more timely, at least for folks on the eastern seaboard who just whacked by Hurricane Irene and who are now expecting a visit from Katie. WordGirl’s word of the month for September is Meteorologist (I can’t believe I spelled that correctly on the first try) and in […]
