I was pretty sure when I saw this in the newspaper yesterday that Hilary was hoping this one would go viral — getting blogged by hundreds of A-list bloggers and increasing her audience ten-fold. At the very least it will get clipped by the moms of all the kids who live in their parents’ basementsContinue reading “Blog baiting”

Better than witnessing newborn nebulas in bloom. (Pardon me while I burst into song.) Niki and I saw Incubus two Thursdays ago at Jones Beach. I already loved the band and knew two of their albums intimately, but they still blew me away. They put on a fantastic show. What an amazing vibe. I wouldContinue reading “Better than watching Geller bending silver spoons”

Every now and then I have some awful dream where I’ve made some weird life choice and I’m regretting it. Sometimes I’ve married the wrong person or I’m stuck in a crazy job that I should have never taken. Other times I’m back in high school with one more class to finish to get myContinue reading “Just for the taste of it”

What a great Squeeze show the other night. Slap And Tickle was the highlight of the show and I never could have predicted that. Their keyboard player, Stephen Large, was unreal and between Jools Holland and Paul Carrack he had some some gigantic shoes to fill! Niki snapped some great pictures and here’s the one she sentContinue reading “They do it down on Camber Sands, they do it at Waikiki”

The most amazing thing about the AOL->TMZ meme was the thoughtful commentary. “I have to admit that yes, it’s probably time for a change.” Bill Hartzer “Mark my words, this is the act of a frightened set of executives that don’t realize that they are the big dog and they control the shots. They need to focus onContinue reading “Reactions to AOL being renamed TMZ”

I wrote a silly post last week about AOL changing its name to TMZ and then I forgot about it. Two nights ago I was at Rye Playland with Niki and our sons catching a free show from the Plain White T’s — that Hey There Delilah band — and letting the kids ride some of the safer-looking rides. IContinue reading “AOL changing its name to TMZ, part two”

My first thought when I saw TMZ headlines months ago next to the new AOL mail client was, “Why aren’t they showing any from our blogs?” Of course, headlines from Autoblog and Slashfood get a 0.5% click-through while a headline about Lindsey Lohan’s latest cocaine-related carjacking chase gets a 125% click-through, so I didn’t complain.Continue reading “Welcome. You’ve got gossip!”

Niki, the boys and I spent the last four days in Cape Cod and on the last day of our trip I completed The Cape Cod Triathlon. I’m not sure if that’s its official name, but in the morning we played miniature golf, then Niki and I hit the batting cages and after that IContinue reading “Triple play”

On Mother’s Day, I made a last-minute trip with my boys to get Niki some cards. We got a nice one from the two of them which basically said, “For Mother’s Day, we wanted to get you a gift certificate for the best dinner in town, but since it’s your special day, why should weContinue reading “With sweet love and devotion, deeply touching my emotion”

Tonight my oldest son was singing “woo hoo, wee hoo” over and over. I asked him who sings that song and before he could stop singing and answer me my youngest son who is not yet two answered, “Gwen?” Gwen Stefani. That is correct! It reminded me of when Jack first recognized a Foo Fighters song.Continue reading “It’s times like these you learn to live again”
