Tribute bands can be such a maddening experience. When they’re good… or even great, it’s either because they’re expert mimickers, or because they take the original material and spin it in such an oblique way that you discover new things to love about songs you’ve listened to only a few thousand times before, and thought…
So last weekend we traveled up to Washington, DC for the Rock ‘n’ Roll USA Marathon event. This race was of particular interest to me for a variety of reasons. First off, it was a trip to Washington for a few days, and I hadn’t been to Washington as a tourist or for non-business reasons…
So Boots and I loaded up the family truckster last Saturday and made the drive up to Orlando. Our rationale for going up there was the “free” Micky Dolenz concert at EPCOT’s Flower and Garden Festival. I say “free” in “quotes” because if you “factor in” gas, tolls, hotels, and our Annual Passholder payments we…
Banded together from remote galaxies are twenty-two of the most sinister obstacles of all time: the Obstacles of Doom… featuring such fiendish hell-spawned blackguards as Devil’s Beard, Electric Eel, Fire Walker, Glory Blades, and the dastardly-dreaded Berlin Walls. Dedicated to a single objective: the conquest of the universe!!! Only one group dares to challenge this intergalactic threat…

In the meantime, here are our first team pictures (minus Carlos W, who works in our Tampa office and will be coming down this weekend).…
Forty-eight seconds. Forty-eight freakin’ seconds. This is not going to turn into one of those “for want of a nail” rants, because quite frankly those are not only played-out, they’re dreadfully boring to read. You don’t want to read it. And I don’t want to write it. So we both win here. But to think…
So I’ll be running the A1A Half Marathon this Sunday, starting in downtown Fort Lauderdale and heading straight down to and alongside the Atlantic Ocean in Fort Lauderdale Beach. I ran this race last year and loved it, so I’m planning on loving it again this year. Would I like to PR this one? I…
Rating: 9 / 10 Life’s most agonizing transition arguably occurs when the fragile boundary between childhood and adulthood blurs and rather quickly vanishes; that emotionally quizzical overlap during which the insecurities and uncertainties of youth immediately and awkwardly merge with the responsibilities and gray-scale cynicism of adulthood. It’s a heady mix of fear and excitement…
