This last Saturday was Free Comic Book Day. My son August was able to hit a few of the comic shops last year with a friend of his and it was his first time attending this event. He loved it and couldn’t wait for this year’s event to roll around. I am so glad that…
There is one Replacements album I still need to get. I can’t find it anywhere as it is apparently out of print to the point that even Amazon and other online retailers do not have it. Finding it used is a challenge to say the least. I am referring to Tim, the band’s major label…
Happy May Day! Next week he turns 1, but he’s all over the place already. We literally turned around and Tevye had climbed into the laundry basket. This last week the kids’ school had Grandparents And Special Friends Day which seems like a good idea, except it doens’t happen just once a year – this…
Tevye is 11 months old. Only now have we begun sleep training him. Yes, we previously had established a nap schedule and a regular bedtime, and that works fine for the most part. the problem is sometimes it took far too long to put him down. Like nearly an hour. It shouldn’t take that long to…
1. I am looking forward to Mad Max: Fury Road. I mean, really looking forward to it. Don’t get me wrong, I want to see Avengers: Age Of Ultron, but this Mad Max film has me excited. Like, edge of my seat excited. I know too much about the plot as it is, which is slightly disappointing…

Last week I presented a list of 10 albums that are great for intruducing younger listeners to rock and roll, a sort of gateway to broader musical horizons. Now I present a list of the greatest albums that have shaped rock and roll over the last 60 or so years. 1. The Beatles Please Please…
True story – I saw Breakin’ at the drive in. It was the second feature of a double bill with Streets Of Fire. It was the summer of 1984. I remember distinctly this experience as my best friend and I had taken lawn chairs and set them up in the vacant spot next to us…
Last Saturday was crazy busy. Dela had the Emerald City Feis (Irish dance competition) and August and Ciaran had their Cub Scout pinewood derby – at the same time. Let’s begin with Dela. Unfortunately since I had August and Ciaran (and Xavier and Tevye) this meant Laura was trying to take pictures and video of…
Brother against sister. August and Déla were playing with the Star Wars toys we recently recieved. I decided to play some appropriate music to accompany them.
