DWTS: Week 9, And Then There Were Four
Wow. This was the most amazing week of Dancing With the Stars ever. Everyone performed so wonderfully, and so very nearly perfect.
Heilo & Julianne and Mel & Maks both had perfect scores for the night. Now, we all know I’m not a Heilo fan, but his dances were spot on with great technique and performance. [...]

Hockey @ 60
I’ve met a lot of great people while I’ve played over the past five years. None of been a more consistent friend and teammate than Laurie Woods. We joined up on the Tigers at the same time in Spring 2002 and have played together in D8 ever since. She’s also the one who got me [...]

Bluestreak Cycle 2, The End
I finished my second Bluestreak cycle this past Monday on a pretty solid note. The post test showed mostly improvements. The improvements weren’t as large as after the first cycle, which would be expected; but there were improvements nonetheless.

November 10 was another day of losses, but also of really well played games. The Wizards lost in overtime, 3-2 against the Hornets. It was an [...]

Vampires Never Die
The musical Lestat played for two months in the spring of 2006 at the Palace theater on the corner of Broadway and 47th Street. The show, based on Anne Rices Vampire Chronicles with music by Elton John and lyrics by his longtime collaborator Bernie Taupin, was a huge flop. We saw the show, and while [...]

DWTS: Week 8, Mel’s Red Hot Tango
Mel B rocked last week with the amazing paso doble. Last night she brought a stunning tango to the floor. It didn’t bring her her highest scores ever, but it did yield a 27 and I thought it really deserved a 30. It was fierce, it had tight choreography and great music (Depeche Mode’s “Personal [...]

A Strike Here, A Strike There
New York has got two strikes going right now. The Writers’ Guild continues on strike. On Saturday, Broadway stagehands walked out on their jobs leaving all but eight Broadway shows dark (on the left is the stagehands picketing How the Grinch Stole Christmas yesterday morning… which is probably what the children were thinking when they [...]
