You know how much ridiculous arrogance and hubris I must have to name our team “Millheiser RULES!!!”? None whatsoever. Zero. Zilch. Zip. Nada. Bubkis. I’m just riffing off that line the bully O’Doyle kids always scream in Happy Gilmour. It makes a great Two-tickets-to-the-gun-show flex and grunt whenever I cross a finish line. So I…
Howdy! Hope anyone and everyone reading this had a Chappy Chanukah, a Merry Christmas, a Festive New Year, or none of the above and just wanted to be left the F alone, away from silly obnoxious people. Or maybe all of the above. Given we’re a Jewish & Catholic household, we get a bit of…
You know, I wouldn’t be me if something didn’t happen to my physical frame two weeks before running a long race. The long race being the Disney Marathon on January 13, 2013… and the malady in question are the dreaded shin splints. Those throbbing muscle pains that percolate right around the sides of your shinbone, that…

Another MTV Holiday classic. Literally. Filmed right on their set, with most of the original VJs, back in the halcyon days of the fledgling cable network. Back when Nina Blackwood was the object of every guy’s young lustful urges, but we all really had huge crushes on Martha Quinn. She was the ultimate girl next…
There are entirely too many versions of Jingle Bell Rock out there, but this one is my all-time favorite. I bar no holds when I proudly proclaim my total enjoyment of all things Hall & Oates — Abandoned Luncheonette is one of those great 70s albums that doesn’t get enough acknowledgment — and the bouncy…
Click here for my Review of the 2013 Tough Mudder Miami event. Well, I’ve done it. I’ve registered for the Tough Mudder event coming next March, down in Homestead. Ten to twelves miles of running, obstacles, pain, mud, freezing water, pain, live electrical wires, monkey bars, pain, nets, ropes, cannibalism, flaying, fingernail removal, and other…
Strictly speaking, “Bears” — a 1984 prog/rock/metal single from Zebra — is not a holiday song, per se and such as. However, it is entirely evocative of that whole winter holiday feel, complete with xylophone chimes, strings, choirs, etc… plus it’s about freakin’ hibernating BEARS man! By a band called Zebra! Yeah I don’t know…
I know many of you are shocked…SHOCKED!!!…that I would include a Kinks song in a list of my favorite musical anything. If I were rattling down my list of Top Swahili Yodeling Rodeo Songs, I’m fairly certain I’d find a way to squeeze Ray Davies & Co. in there somehow. Mea maxima culpa. Still though,…
OK let’s get silly for a moment here and discuss Hebraic Yuletide Alienation. Or not. This one is a seasonal favorite for me, only because I love belting it out at karaoke every December and there’s not a dry seat in the house afterward. Plus it reminds me of the salad days of the late…
