Tree Art

in New York

While we were out for lunch today we came across this “art” installation outside Southwest NY at the World Financial Center. Sponsored by Korean Air, it’s titled “Spreading Wings for A Greener Tomorrow.” To me it just looks like blue ribbon tied to trees. I  don’t get the “green” part either since the blue ribbons [...]

A queery from across the pond

in Life in General

I was in the grocery store in the dairy aisle when a British family, trying to decide what margarine to buy, asked me what canola oil was. I tried my best to explain, but I really wasn’t much help. I know what canola oil is, but what exactally is a canola? I got home and [...]

Friday Geek Out: Starlight Express

in Geek Out, Theatre

The 80s had some pretty crazy stuff going on. Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Starlight Express was one of the more bonkers attempts at a musical… and one that I love. The concept is pretty simple: it’s all a child’s dream about his toy train set coming to life and the ensuing race to see which train [...]

Two Wins, One Loss & How I Broke Laurie

in Hockey

Yesterday was a full hockey day with three league games plus the morning skate. The Tigers and Ordinals both won while the Wizards opened the season with a loss. The worst part of the day, the part that will stick with me the longest, is that I fractured Laurie’s ankle during Ronnie’s Ice.
It has been [...]

Friday Geek Out: Peter, Paul & Mary “A ‘Soalin”

in Geek Out, Music

I discovered Peter, Paul & Mary in the early 80s thanks to my neighbors, the Rovelstads. There was a concert on TV and my mom and I, along with other neighbors, gathered at their house to watch. The harmonies were dazzling and, while I know I’d heard “Puff the Magic Dragon” sung by other people, [...]

Halloween Goodness

in Life in General

Look what I just ordered from Amazon!

A case is just $27 (12 boxes) and you get free shipping, which averages out to only $2.25 a box! What a great holiday deal! They also have Count Chocula and Boo Berry, though let’s face it, Frankenberry has always been the far superior Monster Cereal.

TV Dance-a-poolza, Week 5

in TV

Dancing with the Stars crossed the half way point this week while So You Think You Can Dance announced it’s stunning top 20.
DWTS, Season 9 Week 5: DWTS should’ve been a spectacular week with Argentine Tangos and Paso Dobles. Sadly it was a let down on the Paso side as only one caught my eye. [...]
