So as you well know, I’m smack dab in the middle of marathon training for the 2014 Space Coast Marathon, coming up on November 30, 2014. I babbled endlessly about it in a previous post, so there’s no point in rehashing it here, except to say that 1) training in the summertime is the pits,…
Hi there, my fine and fellow Hokeyfolk! Yup, it’s true: two years ago today I launched this bizarre blogging experiment with a simple review of The Beatles’s most underrated album, and it’s been a weird and wonderful 730 day journey ever since. I’ve made a bunch of new friends, probably lost more than a couple…
And we’re talking about food again. At Disney. Go figure. Our subject for today is The Hollywood Brown Derby Lounge, nestled away in the snug confines of Disney’s Hollywood Studios on the corner of “Hollywood” and “Sunset”. The Hollywood Brown Derby restaurant is, by itself, much beloved by Disney foodies everywhere, but in today’s review…
Well, not literally… So for those of you who are new to the whole Hokey Industries International experience — or for old-timers who wouldn’t mind a review, and you’ve read this far so why not? — your humble host is a bit fond of music as a prosaic exclamation point. I mean seriously, why underscore…
Howdy friends. So it’s mid July and summer training is moving along in earnest. And man oh man, is it STEAMING out there. Look, I get it, complaining about the scorching heat and oppressive humidity in the summertime — in JULY — in SOUTH FLORIDA!! — is a pointless exercise in Classic Nuh-DOYity. Still, I…
Hello again! Well I’ve been fairly quite for the past 2+ weeks, and it’s certainly not for a lack of things to talk about. Summer training has been going along swimmingly, got all sorts of new gear to talk about, about three dozen music reviews mulling around in my head, even a nosh recommendation, talk of…
With Press To Play, Paul goes contemporary 80s with producer Hugh Padgham. The results are surprising, but possibly the least McCartneyesque album of his career.
Elton John’s Madman Across The Water was released in early November of 1971, arriving in stores barely a year after his acclaimed 1970 masterpiece Tumbleweed Connection. Sir Elton was always nothing short of an absolute workhorse; he would continue his “album a year” pattern for a good long while afterward. This of course begged the…
Surprising absolutely no one who knows even the slightest bit about me, the truth remains that I am something of a techie nerd. Most of the time when I’m out of the house I’m usually packing a cellphone, tablet, various Bluetooth devices, iPod, and who knows what else. All of that portable hardware requires juice,…
Yes! More self-absorbed runner talk! Who’da thunkit coming from this blog? How excited are you to read all about my summer training pro– Well anyway… I get that this isn’t the most exciting and entertaining of subjects to my non-running audience… if I even have one. I’m not quite sure that it’s even of interest…
