It was 20 years ago today…. BeatleMania Now Review

Last night at the HardRock Paradise Live, Karen and I saw BeatleMania Now — formerly of Broadway fame. Anything Beatles has got to be good, right? RIGHT? We (Karen and I) showed up, and ate at Renegade after trying to decide if we wanted Tatu or not. The waitress saw us and booted our waiter […]

Rest in Peace Miss Shirley Brahms

Wendy Richard, a fine actress, perhaps best known as Miss Shirley Brahms in the classic Are You Being Served? series on BBC television which ran for nearly 13 years. She worked with legendary Mrs. Slocombe (Mollie Sugden) who stole the show. Ms. Richard also starred in the iconic British Soap Opera The EastEnders for over […]

A Very Busy Day

First, and foremost, a fond farewell to Emmy Award winning actress Bea Arthur best known as Maude in the spin-off from All In The Family and also as Dorothy in the Golden Girls. She was one of my favourite actresses of all time. She was 86 and died of cancer. Many of her fans suspected […]

Random Stuff For Today v3

First, a special shout out to Shane whose (soon to be ex) hockey coach — Phil at Incredible Ice — is a fucking prick. Shane, you’ll be fine and be in Mites — Mite’s to his dad — soon enough. We all got your back. Next up, we have some upsetting news. National Geographic, in […]

Michael Jackson

I’ve decided to blog about Michael Jackson briefly. Why so? He’s auctioning off tons of his stuff. I realize nobody I know would actually want it, but still. Looking through the online auction catalog is utterly fascinating. You can order one for $100 or $500 with autograph. As if. I met Michael Jackson once when […]

It will probably also make you hungry.) PETA – People Eating Tasty AnimalsSupport PETA — more meat for me My record is approximately 40oz achieved at Kokomo’s at the Mirage in Las Vegas — […]

Why Murphy Rocks

Everyone who reads this blog or visits my website knows I am a fan of Concorde. Yay, Concorde. I miss her and remember my flights on her with great fondness — and it still remains the most amazing thing I have ever done. I’ll stop being effusive and let you read my several web pages […]

Trumped Again

I wrote way back in 2004 about Donald Trump and how poor I thought his business acumen was. I can’t believe I’ve been blogging for so long, but here it is 2009 and today, he did it again. Yeah, no joke. How the hell can you bankrupt a casino empire twice. I would encourage you […]

Random Stuff For Today

First, to those who give a shit, Happy Valentine’s Day. I currently do not. Sorry. Second, thanks to the many people who showed support on my previous quote about friends and family 🙂 Third, today skating was fun, though breakfast was so slow it was horrible. We got to the rink near 1040 instead of […]

A Meeting with Johnson, Martin, and Bettman

It was an invitation only event and about 150 or so people were there. I did not take notes, […]
