After five months in a foreign country, it is great to be back home and be with my family. Everything is green and blooming and there is nothing but FRESH AIR! So, of course, as soon as I start to relax, my immune system goes on holiday. I am left to just sit on the [...]
Last one before I get home and mine the library for more…. James Carter – “Present Tense” Young jazz artist sounding alot like the classics. Foxboro Hottubs – “Stop Drop and Roll!” Green Day in disguise. Sort of. Iggy Pop – “Nude & Rude:Best Of” I had NO IGGY! Anywhere! Isn’t that nuts…? Matthew Sweet [...]
And what was the point of Hillary’s comment the other day? “Hey – somebody could get assassinated. It happens. So, I’m still in the race.” So is she uber-desperate or simply bat-shit crazy? Either way: After that comment, you know she’s drinking…
This time next week, I will be on a British Airways flight back to New Jersey for my vacation. Depending on what terminal is functioning at Heathrow, I will be spending two weeks in the Garden State… though I don’t expect to see any gardens. I will venture to see the sights of New Jersey: [...]

I don’t usually talk about my son out here. He’s a teenager and he might get… upset. But he has assured me that he does not read this page because blogs are – and I quote – “gay”. Whether he meant just homosexual or full-on nelly, he did not specify. So, let’s talk about him [...]
On May 1st, it became illegal in Kuwait to drive and use a cell phone. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! yeah, it was pretty funny. That’s sort of like making it illegal to carry a gun in a war zone.

At last! One goal accomplished. Now if I can just win the lottery… Randy Newman – “Good Old Boys” M83 – “Saturdays = Youth” One of my ‘soundtrack’ bands. This is their latest. Various Artists – “Different Strokes for Different Folks” This is a Sly and the Family Stone tribute. Generally, I hate tribute records. [...]
