Tigers Play Great, Wizards Lose Bad
Last night was one of the best Tigers games I’ve ever been a part of. We squared off against the Hotshots. They had a full bench while we had nine skaters. They had Peter in net, which is always a challenge for us. We had a goalie we’d never played with before, who graciously agreed [...]

The Ride, Week 20
It was a much better week for biking as the weather returned to something less gross than the previous week. We actually had morning temps in the high 60s/low 70s and a decent breeze so the rides were pleasant.
Nothing extraordinary really happened during the week. I managed to ride four days of five (Monday was [...]
On Location: Ugly Betty
We love Ugly Betty.
The show started shooting in New York for season three and they are downtown a lot shooting at the Woolworth Building (which doubles as the headquarters of Meade) and in and around City Hall Park. Tonight, however, they are shooting in our back yard in North Cove Marina. They are shooting on [...]

A songwriting legend passed away in New York last night.

J.M. Snyder’s The V in Valor is the first of five stories in a new set of Vic & Matt adventures. It’s also my first exposure to Snyder’s super couple and I like what I’ve read so far. Since I haven’t read any of the former stories, I don’t know the complete back story, but [...]

Will Someone Please Tell Brian Boitano That It’s 2009
Category: Current Events, TV | tagged Brian Boitano, Food Network, What Would Brain Boitano Make
Well, Richard Simmons can finally hang up his sequined tank tops and short-shorts because there’s a new gay minstrel in town! What Would Brian Boitano Make? premiered this weekend on Food Network and the show is an insulting, stomach churning mess. First, Boitano’s credentials for hosting a food show are dubious at best, but the [...]

To Love A Cowboy by Rhianne Aile
The span of time it took me to read To Love a Cowboy by Rhianne Aile is no reflection on how much I enjoyed it. I still haven’t found the right balance with my reading time since I have basically stopped commuting by subway. Eventually I’ll get the timing thing worked out so it [...]

Post Grad
Category: Movies | tagged comedy, drama, Gilmore Girls, Post Grad, summer
Post Grad must have looked good–and timely–on paper. “Ryden Malby graduates from college and is forced to move back into her childhood home with her eccentric family, while she attempts to find a job, the right guy, and just a hint of where her life is headed,” says the plot summary on IMDB.
Good cast too: [...]
Song Writing By Committee on Twitter
Next to Normal (@N2NBroadway) continues to break new ground online.
Back in May, I wrote about how the show was giving a complete performance on Twitter. After the performance was done, the cast and crew took questions from their Twitter followers and then reversed the roles and asked their followers a bunch of questions.
Now the show’s [...]
