Today was one of the longest days I can remember, but in both good and bad ways, and just about everything in between. Good news: We moved into our new house. Bad news: We moved into our new house. There is nothing quite as exhausting, harrowing and soul wearying as moving, especially when it’s a…
It is with profoundly conflicted emotions that I wrap up what will be my last night living in the home I’ve helped create for at least the last 14 years. As many of you know, Kim and I have been on the road to divorce for what seems like forever, and which will actually be…
Anyone who knows me knows that I’ve love seeing live events. Concerts or sporting events, even if it’s not my favorite team or my favorite band, I just really love seeing them live. Thanks to StubHub it’s so easy to get seats for things I’d never have gotten to before. These days, one kick of…
Today, Katie performed at the Livingston Mall with her school chorus. She had a wonderful solo during the song “Stand By Me”, by Ben E. King. Here’s the video of her – hopefully the sound is good as we’re in the middle of a mall! (double click on video to play)
It’s time again for da carving to commence. This year, we did all our carving on sunday after I was away at the Sea Witch Festival, in Rehoboth Beach, DE. For the first time in years, I dressed up for halloween. When I get some of the good pictures from others, I’ll post a few.…

We got Katie a new phone for her birthday, complete with texting ability. She has taken full advantage of it… “Okay. On the bus. Better day today. people punching the back of my seat and screaming in my ear. Nicky’s hand groping, trying to recover her umbrella which i confiscated in an attempt to keep…
This past weekend I had the change to see They Might Be Giants (for the 4th time!) with special guest Jonathan Coulton (first time!) at the Stone Pony in Asbury Park, NJ. I saw them here last year for the first time and have been totally taken with their offbeat, quirky and hugely fun songs…
This blog has seen almost nothing posted by me about my girlfriend and her terrific kids over the past few years, for varying reasons, but this entry I think will be the first of many. Last Thursday night, 6/23/11, I asked Linda to marry me, and much to my delight, she accepted. At the same…
Tonight I was fortunate enough to see the almost-ageless Paul Simon in a tiny venue in NYC (Webster Hall) with my friend Brandi. (click on any of the pictures to make them REALLY big and mostly blurry! Yay!) Wanting a decent spot in the room, I arrived about 2 hours before the doors were scheduled…
