Tonight, August 1st is National Night Out (NNO). There are all sorts of cool things going on around our pretty little city and I hope that you'll get to enjoy some of the planned events. I scored a ticket yesterday for tonight's Alabama Shakes show at the Palace, so I'll be missing the celebration. Or, … Continue reading (My own)National Night Out

Slipknot and Scaramucci
A few years back I attended a music event called Mayhem at SPAC. The things we do for people we love! Anyway, we had a really nice afternoon, complete with sandwiches from Cardona's, listening to a bunch of bands. The bands weren't really my genre, but, it wasn't bad until Slipknot started their set. Their … Continue reading Slipknot and Scaramucci
Seeing the whole of the moon – U2 at MetLife
I've seen U2 a half dozen times, but I don't think I've ever been as excited for a show as I was last Wednesday. Every single thing aligned to make for a perfect night - the weather was phenomenal, the company was sublime and our seats exceeded my expectations. The foundation was all in place … Continue reading Seeing the whole of the moon – U2 at MetLife

I’m cutting myself some slack since it’s a short month filled with 2 Fabulous Lilly Boy birthdays, a major restaurant holiday and a week of vacation, but still…I wish there were a couple of more days to do even more things. My … Continue reading Lola Shine(s) at the Hangar
The profoundness of This is Us
As is usual for me and television, I'm more than a little late to the game on one of the buzziest new series, This is Us. I needed something to follow an embarrassing number of binge watched seasons of Project Runway and was pleased to see that TiU was available on Hulu. A single episode … Continue reading The profoundness of This is Us
Gimme Some Truth
I don’t like being lied to. I mean, really who does? Whether it’s alternative facts, lies of omission, intentional deception, falsehoods or white lies being fed untruths makes me sick to my stomach. In light of what is happening in our country right now, it seems appropriate to drop these (edited to minimize redundancy) lyrics … Continue reading Gimme Some Truth
