Last week, I went out to Manayunk to the Skin Radio studios to record “Brotherly Love” for inclusion in the funky little format they’ve got going over there at 1340AM and skinradio.com.
So, according to the Program Director, they’ll be playing the poem in three parts today @ 12.45p, 2.45p, and 4.45p. You should listen [...]

Despite (or perhaps because of?) it’s inane lyrics and contrived catchiness, Daniel Powter’s “Bad Day” lives comfortably atop my guilty pleasures list. (Admit it, you can’t help from singing along: You had a bad day, the cameras don’t lie….) But, although that song seemed to be all the Top 40 rage last summer, it [...]

I’m only now getting the chance to post this picture, that’s my Moms wearing the soft & fluffy purple scarf that I knitted for her birthday (which was actually in January… so yeah, I’m a little behind). It was very simple, done all in purl stitch, with big guage (#17) needles, and finished all [...]

I’ve been dabbling in the pie arts for, geesh, about 5 or so years now, I guess, but I only recently realized that I’d never made a quiche. This is a terrible terrible oversight on my part, considering quiche really is the perfect pie, when you consider it’s good for a meal any time of [...]

isn’t it cute?!?!

and it only cost $10 — $10!!!! — on sale at Hats in the Belfry. It’s a very good day.

After a my-t-fun evening with the geeks and bloggers (many thanks to Scott for an excellent party!), I find myself enjoying a full day of geekery. Let me preface this by saying that my level of geekery is far more rudimentary than most, so it doesn’t take much for me to impress myself with [...]

Yeah, I took a week off. For no real reason other than laziness. But I’m back with a bang – and a big ole, surfin’ cow bang, at that.

1. “Surfin’ Cow,” The Dead Milkmen
2. “Eventually Rock,” Marah
3. “Good Morning Girl,” Journey
4. “Beachball,” REM
5. “Boat of Car,” [...]

Oh yes — that’s me there on the cover of this week’s Center City Weekly Press.
My good pal, Kerry O’Connor, Sports Editor for the Weekly Press, wrote a feature on my Eagles poem (and my general fanaticism) and then printed the poem in the paper, on page five. Check it out! [...]

I’ve been slow with the blogging lately, for a few reasons — not the least of which is that I broke my glasses last week and still don’t have new ones. Although I’m using the Little Mister’s giant monitor and increasing my text sizes to something like 200%-300%, everything’s still a little fuzzy around [...]
