Earlier in the week, I wrote about how even though we’re five months away from either console hitting store shelves, Sony’s PlayStation 4 had already knocked out Microsoft’s Xbox One and had handed Sony the next-gen console crown. I made sure to note at the end of the article that I was, in fact, going Continue Reading →
A toned and lovely woman takes long, easy strides to conquer a steep incline. “I’m over the hill,” she laughs.

I recently heard Leo Kottke perform in a striking performance center appropriately named The Egg (I’m linking to a photo of the building for architectural fans…you’re not going to believe this structure). Kottke is a true talent on 6 and 12 string acoustic guitars. But he’s so much more. Wikipedia says he “intersperses humorous and often bizarre monologues with vocal and Continue Reading →
