Does anyone find this potato as interesting as I do?  LOL. Is this how Weston skyrocketed his photo career?  What was I thinking?  I could have sold this tate on eBay!

I have an idea for an upcoming blog regarding the rash of cover songs there are these days.  Devo’s regurgitation of The Stones’ “Satisfaction” will not be on the list.  It will forever be in a class of its own. (“Babybabybabybabybabybaby …”) This just in … one of the more enjoyable news releases I have […]

“What a small world” is not a cliche.  It is a truism that applies pretty much every day … seems like.  This morning, I was standing in line at an American Airlines gate, checking a bag to Cleveland.  (I am going there for some Wi-Fi and also a little “Dirty Jobs”-like action.) I heard a […]

Man!  I swear the dude behind me in the theater — the one who kept kicking the back of my chair/head — was Charlie Manson.  Ha … well, he looked just like him, except for no telltale swastika etched into his forehead.  I digress … and I haven’t even gotten started. What do you do […]

This just isn’t the same old Sundance … but I remain hopeful it will pick up.  They tell me that lots of folks skipped this year for financial reasons and because of the event in DC. For me, there have been some great opportunities although the festival press office has been unreceptive.  Oh well, they […]
