I met my first openly gay person somewhere early in my Middle School career. The thing is I’m pretty sure neither he nor I knew it at the time – or at least; it was that prehistoric day and age where such matters were not really discussed. Not out in public, anyway. I feel it’s…
Well, that was a prophetic little poster wasn’t it (as you’ll see once you pour through the various pics I’ve displayed below). I’m going to write a post in a few days that looks ahead to 2015 but before closing the book on 2014, I figured I’d tell the tale using some of the cool pics…
I wrote something similar to this a few years ago when my beloved 9-year old black lab pup Chatham passed on. At the time, I dreaded having to wake to the morning when I would have to say the same sad goodbye to Abby. After all, Abby was one year Chatham’s senior – and when Chatham passed…
This is rapidly becoming one of my favorite annual posts to write. Each year, on the day after Aria’s big dance recital – I take to these pages to tell you all a little bit about it while sharing a few pics in a bid to shrink the miles and give you a sneak peek…

Whenever I peruse my Facebook news feed on any given day, I’ll routinely see updates from women who at some point or another moseyed into my life. I mean – that’s obvious. Nothing against dudes BUT I happen to like the company of ladies first and foremost – so it stands to reason that at…
This past weekend – to celebrate his impending eleventh birthday – Colin and I grabbed a little guy’s time and headed to Buffalo Wild Wings for lunch. It was Colin’s call and that’s his new favorite restaurant – one that marries his two favorite, newly acquired tastes; baseball and buffalo wings. With over 5700 channels…
When I first started writing out here, I had no idea what the Hell I was gonna’ write about. I’ve told this story before so I’ll refrain from my usual play-by-play of every single detail and just give you the wide brushstrokes. The Ed Zone was created simply so my buddy Sean could tinker on…
“Memory. It makes us human. It creates our ideas of family, history, love, friendship. Within all our minds is a narrative of our own lives and all the people who were important to us. Who were eyewitnesses to the same times and events. Who could describe us to a stranger.” ~ Roger Ebert from his…
