So I am on my way to the Inaugeration of President Barack Hussien Obama. And I am thrilled.  I leave tonight, and will be spending all day on Inaugeration Day taking in the sights and sounds of a transition of power. I plan to get a good place for the swearing in, and hopefully share in some...

From a child of 4, my mother had me onstage performing for hundreds of people with Bernice Johnson Dance Studio in Jamaica, NY. Throughout grade and high school, I performed with the choir, glee club and drama club, singing everything from Gregorian Chant to all the songs from "Pygmalion...

Here in the Rocky Mountains, we've had record winds. Over at the tiny hamlet of Ward, not but a dozen miles as the raven flies, they clocked the blasts last week at 108mph. That's hurricane force, by anyone's standards. The weather-person says it's the La Niña jet stream that's causing this...

If you’ve read my blog on Six Word Memoirs, you might guess I’m a fan of Mel Brooks, and you’d be right.  From his early work with Carl Reiner, to ‘The Producers,’ ‘Get Smart,’ ‘The Twelve Chairs,’ ‘Young Frankenstein’ and the brilliantly crude ‘History of the World Part I.’   In the opening scenes...
