What is it with FIFA and using Latin American artists for the official song for the World Cup? One would think the official song of the world cup would come from the host country, or at the very least vary in ethnic origin. 3 of the last 5 World Cups have had an official song…
If you’ve been paying attention to this blog at all the last few weeks you would know Fiddler On The Roof has had a major pressence in our lives. First we had the latest addition to our family, Tevye, then a few days later our oldest cat Chava died. A great “Sunrise, Sunset” example. I…
Finally saw Frozen last night. We missed it in theaters, unfortunately, but right when it came out on Blu-ray we bought it. As life happens, I didn’t get to see it with the kids. The second time they watched the film it was with mom. After the 2nd time of watching the film my daughter…
What a crazy couple of weeks it has been. Hopefully we’ll find some sense of normalcy this week but these last two weeks have been major upheavals, one right after the other. I’ve been so busy I haven’t had time to write anything down about what’s going on. And boy has there been a lot….
Hot on the heels of what is arguably my best Music Monday post yet, I offer up another of my”quick and kind of lame” posts. Perhaps the only redeeming thing about this entry is I finally am featuring music more recent than the 1980s. “Everything Is Awesome” is of course the song from The LEGO…

I agonized over this one. I don’t know why. I guess because I was thinking I should showcase something new, or at least within this century. Well, I do buy new music, but that wasn’t where my head has been at lately. So what to share? How about something from my favorite band? Oh yes,…
I recently finished ripping my music – well, most of it. My general “A-Z” stuff has been converted to MP3 with most of my soundtracks and collections as well as the classical music still waiting. There are a few random CDs that didn’t make it, such as a Robert Plant CD that simply refuses to…
I stopped collecting concert ticket stubs a long time ago. A couple of my autographed ones have long since vanished, unfortunately, and with e-tickets and such, the importance of them have diminished. As such I have gone through and discarded most, if not all of them (though I am sure there is yet another stack…
