A singer/performer in my youth, I was a voice major at Indiana University, but became a lawyer when I moved to Arizona after I graduated...[Read More]
Erich Kunzel, longtime conductor of the Cincinnati Pops Orchestra, died yesterday. This makes me sad.
It’s not like he and I were BFF’s. But when I was in the Indiana University Singing Hoosiers, we did a few projects with him and the Pops. We did two CD recordings, some concerts in Cincinnati, and one concert at [...]
I just felt like checking in. The internet is really dead on weekends. You’d think people had lives or something. I check it a lot because I amuse myself on my BlackBerry while I’m at the mall with Max.
Hang in there, Jason Robert Brown, if you haven’t lost interest in our little corner of the [...]
So I was kind of underwhelmed with the Cardinals stadium. At first it was cool. We got in early because of our friends’ fancy “Club Level” seats, and people were walking around with samples of food.
But it was all illusory. We went to this buffet, supposedly the nicest on the level, and it was pathetic. [...]
Today I have the day off. I slept in a little bit, then took Max to school at 8:30. He went galloping happily in. He sure is a happy guy.
Then I headed over to Squaw Peak. I didn’t enjoy it nearly as much at this later hour of the day. TOO HOT! Today it’s supposed [...]
So I had just discovered the joy of doing Squaw Peak in the early morning, and I really wanted to do it again this morning. But when I woke up I just felt too crappy from this stupid cold so I didn’t go. Bummer because I suspect that this can really be a lift for [...]
Today has not been a marvelous day and here are all the reasons why.
First of all, I did do one thing today that was great. I finally got up at 5:15, made my way over to Squaw Peak, climbed it, and went to work. It was wonderful. I love Piestewa Peak (Squaw Peak’s new name. [...]
Last night I had dreams about bugs. Uck. In the dream Conrad and I went to Hawaii. We were so excited to go because it had been a while, and the ocean was beautiful, but the beach and grounds were infiltrated with bugs. Big, fat squirmy millipedes the size of snakes. They would fight with [...]
I have the WORST stiff neck I’ve ever had. It’s killing me. It’s been getting worse and worse over the last few weeks. I think it’s a combination of the fact that I sit in front of a computer all day and probably with posture that’s not so great, plus I hate my mattress and [...]
Yes, that’s me. I mean, compared to how I usually am. For some reason I was inspired to get off my duff last week and do a few things to make my life, and myself, hopefully a tad more interesting.
Well, I already mentioned the Examiner.com thing. That’s progressing and I should have my first article [...]
I waited and waited, exhausted, all week, for my day to sleep in. This morning the day was finally here. And my phone beeped loudly at 5:45 and I couldn’t get back to sleep.
Before I got my job with the Judge I applied at Starbucks. I had to fill out this application and one of [...]
