The Susan Boyle Effect

You watched the performance.  Here it is again in case you’ve been trapped under something heavy for the past two weeks or you need a refresher.  (The embed option has been “disabled by request.”  Meh.)

So here’s my question.  What if Susan Boyle had walked out on to that stage, did her little jig of the [...]

Last week, Jaime and I took a vacation in our backyard.  The same backyard that I constructed a compost bin in not too long ago.  We dug holes, clipped back branches and yanked Oriental bittersweet from the ground with the help of suffering good friend Dan Manseau.
Dan dug the biggest holes, extracting entire stumps from [...]

It Happened on Edwards Square

Walking home from my noon-time stroll with the pup, we happened upon this.  It appears to be the claw of some sort of chicken reptile, no doubt.  The scaly fingers, the pointy claws, the waxen yellow look of the skin.

However I am but one person [...]

OTR in T-Minus 4 Days

Our Town Revisited opens at the Academy of Music this Friday.  It’s our world premiere of a show that’s already headed for New York in July.
It’s a gem of a show if I do say so myself.  But honestly it’s very different from anything else I’ve been involved with on stage.  Sure there’s live music [...]

Good Friday and Twitter

This church in Manhattan tweeted the Passion Play today.  As soon as I read about it, I signed up to follow them on Twitter right away.  From noon to three, the tweets started with each moment of Christ’s crucifiction.  (Tweet and crucifiction, two words you wouldn’t expect together.  Except maybe in the unreleased “Mary Poppins: [...]

LOST: one bumper

Bro #1: Dude, what’s wrong?
Bro #2: I can’t find my bumper.
Bro #1: Where’d you have it last?
Bro #2: I don’t know.
Bro #1: Well, think.
Bro #2: I had it in the pocket of my hoodie all night last night.  But I just checked that and it wasn’t in there.
Bro #1:  So it fell out.
Bro #2:  Yeah.  [...]

Question, Downtown…

Have you ever noticed the not one but two mailboxes in front of A2Z Science and Learning Store? Why two? They both have the same pick-up times (3pm Monday – Friday, 10am Saturday).
Don’t get me wrong.  I love having a mailbox for my mail on my walk to work.  But having two to [...]
