I know I am somewhat critical of our current administration and some of its policy decisions.

I tried. I really did.
3 years ago, my parents gave me their 1996 Chevy Lumina. We were down to 1 car and rapidly approaching the day the lease would expire on that one.
Babies and losses on houses that we had bought precluded us buying anything new.
So, they gave us their ...

There are currently 4 CD's I cannot get out of my player. Check them out:
All the Roadrunning by Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris: This album was 7 years in the making and it was worth every minute of the wait. Their voices meld together beautifully to produce a somewhat restless ...

Can there be another 2 hour segment of television better than this? If so, tell me. How could you watch anything else?
The Scofield brothers frantically trying to break out of Fox River followed by Jack Bauer once again saving the world single-handedly.

These "Sundown Towns" are yet another black eye in our poor history of race relations. Copiously researched and meticulously presented this book is eye-opening. Far too many of ...

Roseanne Cash mourned the loss of her father.
Black Cadillac deals with loss, anger, hurt, despair and hope. It is a seminal album from an often overlooked artist.
I said yesterday that Derek ...

I'm finally back in the office after a two week vacation and while wondering if we can impose some kind of cap on the number of releases Ryan Adams can make in one calendar year I thought I would share my favorite films of the year just past.

This is the greatest invention since TIVO and by far my favorite Christmas present (next to the talking Napoleon Dynamite Pen).
No longer do I have to listen to inane local sports talk hosts and insipid playlists. Just today I heard Lucy Kaplansky and the Kaiser Chiefs. I Predict a Riot, ...

OK, compiling this list I realize that popular music has passed me by. I've gandered at a lot of best-of music lists for this year and, frankly, I hate most of them.
I don't like rap or hip/hop or whatever it's called. Jesus Walks is cool but that's about it.
