Someone from the blogosphere was complaining that my "What Not To Wear For Halloween" costume series was getting a little dull. So, I had this whole list of costumes that I was going to talk about today to liven things up, so to speak. Alas, I'm almost out of time, and need to go hunting for some remaining pieces of my Sarah Palin/Caribou Barbie costume. So, instead I'm going to leave you with this final Halloween Costume Tip #5: Whatever happens tomorrow, don't let other people dress you up!!! Read Full Story
As I contemplate the recent news of my mother's frail health, I am becoming increasingly aware of the need for positive thoughts and energy in all of our lives during these challenging times. I am also pondering my actions over the past year that did not breed positive energy, including many excerpts in this blog. I realize my actions bred negativity, and I am truly sorry. My apologies and regrets to Christy Lochrie. I never meant for an on-line dispute between two stubborn, former fr... Read Full Story

Well, I could talk about how I just saw Loni Anderson in the audience at U Prep's amazing performance of Once Upon A Mattress tonight. (Yes, she looked FABULOUS, of course!) But instead I'm going to blog about the release of the much anticipated new Guns & Roses album entitled Chinese Democracy. According to their MySpace page, the album will be released in 1 hour, 36 minutes, and 20 seconds. How do I know this? No, I'm not a closet Guns & Roses fan.... but apparently some... Read Full Story
My 'ol buddy, Eric Teel, is spinning some great tunes on JPR's Open Air session this gorgeous November afternoon. This song by Sara Nelson entitled "Feel It Coming" is getting a fair share of airtime on JPR these days. It's a great tune, with a great guitar riff and it captures my mood today. Lyrics are here. I especially like these lines: "That’s it, I’m all better now. Spit up the last of what made me hurt. I feel light as a feather now. At last I finally know my ... Read Full Story
I got scooped yesterday. Or at least that's what Projectile Comet is saying over yonder about beating me to the poop about Tim Hearden being fired from the Record Searchlight and being replaced by yet another monkey....
