You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ A bar stool of crazy! I’m watching game six of the NBA finals on one screen and Honduras V USA soccer on another. Suddenly a young woman with a dark complexion sits beside me. “This seat taken?” “It’s all you.” And so begins a trip down […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The power of prayer. The wife sits before me as if she doesn’t have a care in the world. Surrounded by 3 grand babies and a nervous daughter, the matriarch of the family exudes a calm that puts everyone at ease. I look around the lobby […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ $100 movie prices. That’s jarring to my thought process. It’s disturbing like a mini skirt and halter top on Rosie O’Donnell.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Losing your keys. Not once, but twice in the span of 30 minutes. It’s easy to lose your keys once. We’ve all done it. We’ve all checked our pockets over and over and over again searching the same place for a set of keys that is […]

You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Instruments unused. Melodies silenced, chords quieted, beats unheard. There is a drum set upstairs. My eldest son hasn’t banged on them in 5 years. He use to take lessons. He is no Neil Peart, but he had a little talent. Now the skins sit in a […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ The Troll. Why does the Troll live under the bridge? Because he can. Under the freeway, in the dark slimy crevice, far from the light, he resides.

You know what’s crazy? I’ll Tell you what’s crazy™ Birth to Beer. I am about to date myself here, but I did something that has been 21 years in the making. I brought my oldest son to a bar. A sports establishment known as Twin Peaks. The entire wait staff is female. It’s like a […]
You know what’s crazy? I’ll tell you what’s crazy™ Saying thank you after 30 years. I emailed one of my first bosses. His name; Bob Giraldi. Bob is a legendary director now. He probably was back then. I simply said; Bob, thanks for showing me the way. Bob gave me my first job out of […]
