One of the most daunting tasks in my life is alphabetizing my CD collection. I have gathered about 3,000 CDs over the last couple of decades and have relocated twice in that time. Somehow, the CDs have mysteriously jumped out of order in such a fashion that I cannot make sense of their placement anymore. [...] Read more »

Later this summer I’ll make the trek to Chicago and the annual gathering at Grant Park known as Lollapalooza.  It is always a pleasure to walk around the “Windy City,” especially when it’s unmistakable vibe is electrified even more with the three-day music festival and its wide assortment of fans.

I go to work with a smile on my face EVERY DAY because of the strength and passion you provide. I will never take your pat on the back for granted. [...] Read more »

Sometimes it seems strangely familiar to talk about the world in terms of apps. The applications that are available to us via our smart phones and tablets are so vast that the competition for even the most obscure, is fierce. I attended the Black Keys concert last week and noticed 2 people using a “lighter app” as [...] Read more »

Is it because the tragedy wraps around the glory and presents itself  like nothing we’ve ever known? I contend that, in some instances, we are fascinated and interested because [...] Read more »

Often times we wonder what it would be like to live the life of our favorite “rock stars”. It must be so glamorous.
