With a summary like this, how could I not go to see this movie? Hip hop, samurai culture, and italian gangsters come together in this oddly quiet action movie by independent spirit Jim Jarmusch. I am also trying to eeck out my free events before summer ends – which, in the NYC, is Labor Day.…
Not so long ago, shortly after I moved to NYC, I was invited to dinner by a friend where I met three new, fantastic ladies… one of whom made the mistake of mentioned (not to me directly) that one of the ladies who went on their annual Martha’s Vineyard trip would not be able to…
I hope you are sitting down, because this is BIG news. I WENT TO MYSTIC PIZZA! An item that was near the top (if not at the top) of my “When I’m on the East Coast” bucket list. A couple of girlfriends and I were driving to MA for a group getaway on Martha’s Vineyard…
My work buddy Tim is a good guy. Unpretentious, funny, real – he likes sports, loves his wife, indulges his kids without overdoing it and just bought a used Jeep Wrangler. He’s the kind of guy that, when you walk by the dive bar that sells a beer and a shot for $5, you target…

Even on the other side of the country, I’m managing to get my Seattle sports fix. Last week I went to MSG to watch the Storm take on the Liberty, and last night I made the voyage to Yankee Stadium to see the M’s destroy the men in stripes. As much as I tried not…
Maya Angelou passed today. Her words were inspiration and salvation to so many; she will be missed. Phenomenal Woman BY Maya Angelou Pretty women wonder where my secret lies. I’m not cute or built to suit a fashion model’s size But when I start to tell them, They think I’m telling lies. I say, It’s…
I drafted this back in February, when I was desperately trying to postpone football withdrawal after the Seahawks unbelievable season.
