I’ve been hearing about the film Pond Hockey on and off for the past couple months and finally watched the trailer today. The documentary looks amazing and I’m putting the DVD on my Christmas list. I’ve only played outside a few times in my hockey career. The Ordinals occasionally practiced/scrimmaged up at Lasker and that [...]

Moulin Rouge! is one of my all-time top films. How could it not be: singing, dancing, sweeping love story and Ewan McGregor. I was excited enough by this June 2001 film that I made sure we saw it the first time at New York’s Ziegfeld Theater, which a huge, single auditorium theater in midtown. It’s [...]
One of the new balloons in this year’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade was Keith Haring’s “Figure With Heart,” based on Haring’s 1987 ink on paper drawing “Untitled (Figure with Heart).” Haring would have been 50 this year. He died of AIDS-related illness in 1990 when he was 31. Haring’s art has long been associated with [...]
Header #13 was shot on September 30, 2008 from the window of our apartment. This looks north at the World Financial Center (tower 4), the mercantile market and a corner of one of the Gateway Plaza buildings. The entire photo is below.
Three couples gave it their all to take home the mirror ball trophy in the finals of Dancing with the Stars season 7. In the Samba Smackdown that opened Monday’s show, Brooke and Derek stumbled a bit in my view. Brooke looked a bit stiff and unsure. The judges didn’t seem to feel the same [...]
Just as I finished up the Monopoly promotion this month, I got a project that plays right into things I like a lot. Intel is already starting up the promotion machine for next May’s Star Trek film (check out the very cool Starfleet Shipyard at boldlygo.intel.com site). I got to project manage the sweepstakes protion [...]
I was worried how Twilight would translate to the big screen, but after seeing it this afternoon I can say that I’m overall pleased with the result. I did think the movie was a slow in the beginning. I feared it was going to be flat like the first two Harry Potter films where the [...]
It was a night that started with a disastrous loss and ended with a fantastic win. The Ordinals slump continued as we lost 16-1 to Wolfpack. Actually that 16-1 is only an approximate score because once there’s a 10 goal margin, the score doesn’t go up on the scoreboard any more. The final was definitely [...]
Were the World Mine is a delightfully whimsical film (you can drop back a few posts and catch the trailer), perfect for a cold, blustery Saturday afternoon. Imagine a universe where Dead Poets Society blends with High School Musical and you end up with this. Timothy is a senior at an all-boys school, where he’s [...]
The self titled Power Station album was released in the spring of 1985. Talk about an amazing alchemy of personnel making some great music. Robert Palmer on vocals, Duran Duran’s John and Andy Taylor on bass and guitar, respectively, and Chic’s Tony Thompson on drums. The fusion led to a percussion heavy rock album that [...]
