So this was a rare double concert week for me. Wednesday night I went to see Tom Jones perform. For a 68-year-old dude, he can still put on quite an impressive show!
Tonight, I’m off to see another performer who is still badass despite knocking on the door of 70: Dr. Funenstein himself, George Clinton.
I’ve seen [...]

So, the Oscars Red Carpet happened! Yay! We threw a party Oscar night, and while I did see the red carpet for the most part, I could not give it my usual undivided attention. Yay for DVRs, cuz I recorded the red carpet and re-watched it. What follows is my learned assessment of who hit, [...]

Last week a lot was going on: my beau’s brother’s family came to visit for a few days, work was impossibly busy, I reconnected with an old friend, I added jewelry making to my clothing-making project, and prepped for a party I’m throwing tonight.

One of my New Years resolutions was to engage more in the things I am passionate about. Before now, my life has consisted largely of going to and from work and walking the dog. As for pastimes, I’d watch TV, maybe read a book or a magazine, or surf the interwebs. Throw some errand-running in [...]
