This week’s song comes about from one inescapable fact- Life goes on. Music is a huge part of my life, as evidenced by this blog, the shows I go to, even many of the friendships I’ve formed and kept over the years. I have enjoyed...
This week’s song might not make a lot of sense at first, but bear with me… yes, I KNOW it’s NOT Monday. Over our kids’ Winter Break we visited Maui. We had a great time, but I have to admit… it’s getting harder to keep the...
This week’s song is No More Drama by Mary J. Bilge. Not metal, certainly, but an emotion laden, passionate song and I dig passion. Thankfully my day-to-day life contains little drama. As I’ve gotten older I find I have less and less time for it...

This week’s blog, like last Monday’s, is something of a bonus. You get a two-fer. Meaning, this is an introduction to a stellar book and a fabulous song to act as its soundtrack. Win-win. The book is The Fall and Rise of Peter Stoller by...

Originally my intent was to write a blog celebrating and mourning the life and loss of the inimitable David Bowie. Then last Friday we lost Alan Rickman (one of my very favorite actors), next Dan Haggerty (aka Grizzly Adams), Glenn Frey, Dale Griffin, and Pat...
Look at this- me, you, and on a Monday to boot. Big Smile. This could be a thing– a me being on time thing. This week I want to discuss opposing views. While I have gotten pretty politically confrontational on this blog in the past-...
