My wife, Linda, is tired of hearing me tell this story. Which is precisely the reason I’m about to tell it to you… Back in mid-summer we ordered a new couch for our spare bedroom.

I opened the door and saw a young man standing on our front steps holding […] Click to read more…

We moved from a four bedroom, two-story house, to a two bedroom home on just one floor (sorry, too much math?). And let me tell […] Click to read more…

The first concert I ever attended was on June 3, 1978 at Nassau Coliseum on Long Island. Unfortunately, the performer was Bruce Springsteen. I say unfortunately, because as any number of rock ‘n’ roll enthusiasts will tell you, Bruce Springsteen just may be the best live performer on Earth. And so after experiencing his speaker-climbing, story-telling, crowd-surfing, three-plus-hour extravaganza, I simply assumed this was the norm for live concerts. Listen To This Post That was a big mistake. Seeing Springsteen […] Click to read more…
