    ’Round these parts today is the first day of school. And for the first time in 16 years that actually means something to me. Dreading it just as much now as I did then. … Continue reading →

    NFL fever is already here

    I don’t think I’ve ever felt a breathless anticipation for a preseason football game as I have for tomorrow’s beltway battle between the Washington Redskins and the Ravens of Baltimore. Meaningless exhibition? Hardly. You’d think the Super Bowl, Presidential election, … Continue reading →

    The quirky game of baseball

    You gotta love a game where one night your team gets a run in the bottom of the ninth inning to win the game 1-0, then the next night that same team, playing the same other team, puts up one … Continue reading →

    Golfing time warp

    Watching the Wyndham Championship yesterday I certainly expected to be transported back in time to about 1997. I was, but not with the guy I was expecting. Congrats, Davis Love III, on the victory, and thank you for making me … Continue reading →

    Anniversary Five

    Reply

    I can honestly say that the past five years has been the best half decade of my life. It is no coincidence that during this period I have been married to my best friend, confidant, and partner in all things. … Continue reading →

    Homecoming was truly special

    Posted on August 19, 2015 by moc
    Reply

    I probably don’t stop to think about it often enough, but I’m an incredibly lucky person. This past Monday’s homecoming concert was for me a thrilling experience, and I realize not everyone gets to do something like that. (If you … Continue reading →

    Tonight’s the night I’ve been waiting for, and I assume it’s not the first time you’re hearing about this. This evening I’m playing a show at the Goodwill Theatre in Johnson City, New York, with a few friends I haven’t … Continue reading →

    Here are some new TV shows that are not worth your time

    Posted on August 12, 2015 by moc
    Reply

    There were two shows this summer I’d looked forward to and sadly both of them have fallen flat. The TV reboot of Wet Hot American Summer was a total joke (made it through two episodes out of eight), while NBC’s Mr. … Continue reading →

    Your next corporate golf outing

    Posted on August 10, 2015 by moc
    Reply

    There’s a monstrously large construction site about a mile from my house, different from the one I described two weeks ago. This one I know what it is. It’s called Topgolf, and quite frankly it defies all description and categorization. … Continue reading →
