My niece got married last weekend, outside on a patio overlooking a golf course. Luckily the day was gorgeous, but regardless of what the weather was, it would have been great. There was a commercial this past year about a wedding party that gets married outside in a rainstorm. In...
Hmmm... this is hard stuff. As I've re-engaged with myself this past 8 months, I'm surprised by how possible life is. I'm walking to the edge more and trying to play, laugh, learn...live as if this is all there is. AND...AND... life is starting to, after 51 years, become clearer....
About a month ago Shelly and I started doing "restorative yoga" on Sunday nights. We usually ride our bikes there and back. (This is why married men live longer: wives that make them work out, eat right, ride bikes, walk the dog and do yoga!) This is a very relaxing...

I'm no longer a complete Pollyanna. Not everything in this world is done with the best intentions. Evil does exists. The Craigslist fiasco involving my 1973 Rhodes Electronic Piano (in which I came to the easy decision that it was a desired item everywhere in the United States) turned into...
I'm trying to sell this old, cool, electric piano (Rhodes) that I had on the stage atundergrounded on Craigslist. I got a ton of interest from people all around the United States. One of the first requests that came in, I responded in a positive manner, and it's been kind...
I often joke that the boys are hostages against their own will this year in football. Although they are warming up to the idea of playing football again this year, they would really rather not. Now, I am sure some of you are already forming your opinion on how I...
A couple of weeks ago, we were in Chicago. While we were at bag claim, I recognized six Nebraska Football players standing there. I told Shelly their names, where they were from, their position, and year in school. She asked if I wanted a picture with them and I said...
