As a very late wedding gift to my friend Sybil Baker, I told her I’d make a book trailer for her upcoming book, called “The Life Plan.” Actually, when she first started talking to me about a book trailer, I didn’t even know what that meant. But it’s basically a short video advertisement for a… Continue reading “The Life Plan” book trailer

CAKE
CAKE “I dont want some mom whose son may have recently died to see the commander in chief playing golf. I feel I owe it to the families to be in solidarity as best as I can with them. And I think playing golf during a war just sends the wrong signal.” — George W.… Continue reading CAKE
Lenny Kravitz = musical genius
I’ve never owned a Lenny Kravitz album before. But a couple months ago I heard a song on the radio that was such an authentic homage to Led Zeppelin that it just blew me away. And so I had to buy his newest CD. The song is called “Bring it On” and the album is… Continue reading Lenny Kravitz = musical genius
The Fixx
About a year ago, I rediscovered my love of The Fixx. Remember them? They were sort of a new wave pop group that was big in the 80’s.

laughing my ass off
I forgot I had this album on my iPod, but I just dialed in “Loved Like a Milkshake” which is the tribute album to Wesley Willis. I’m not sure I’ve even listened to this thing before, but I’m having a really hard time concentrating on work because I’m laughing so hard. I highly recommend you… Continue reading laughing my ass off

sophomore successes
