M is for… Metal Yoga

Throwing a big ‘horns up’ today to Neda Draupadi Honarvar. While I don’t know Neda personally, nor have I visited her Tough Love Yoga Studio in Atlanta (yet), I *can* say know metal. And I know yoga. And I’ve been so excited to write about her brand of yoga for “M” since I started my […]

K is for… Kids Rock!

I would be remiss if I didn’t speak about the future music fans of the world during my A to Z journey through the Music-Fan Connection. Silly parents, festies are for kids, too! The child-friendly options at music festivals increase each year, it seems. From Kidzapalooza at parent-fest Lollapalooza to Kidz Jam at Bonnaroo, the […]

Jaunts and Haunts with Jake and John

Ah, the Big Apple. So many sights to see and things to do. You could hop on a double-decker red bus to see the traditional tourist must-sees: Times Square, Central Park, Empire State Building. Or… you can head downtown and let a certain red – and pink and purple and orange – haired host play […]

B is for… Bruce Air

A Dane, a Brit and an American walk into an airport. Sounds like the beginnings of a great joke, right? What if I told you they were all looking for Flight #666? That’s not the punchline, it’s the true story of three lucky guys I know who have boarded the friendly skies via Bruce Air, […]

The A to Z Music-Fan Connection: A is for… Auctions

Kicking off the A to Z Challenge and my Music-Fan Connection theme with…rock up on the auction block: music auctions! What do you think of when you hear the word ‘auction’? Do you think of stern-faced muckety-mucks silently holding up signs on sticks at Sotheby’s, or maybe one of those fast-talking, tongue-twisting auctioneers? How about […]

My husband recently presented me with a unique gift: a mint condition copy of Circus Magazine dated January 31st, 1985.

Blogging from A to Z Challenge

The Blogging Gods must be crazy – I’m attempting the Blogging from A to Z April Challenge once again! Why, you ask? Or, as one of my friends reacted, “Noooooooooooooooo!” Writers, when you ask them why they write, say they cannot NOT write. I think author Sara Gruen recently said it the best: “The only […]

C-O-F-F-E-E

  As part of L’Aussie Writer’s APPRECIATING THE ZEALOTRY Challenge, I am re-posting one of my favorites from the April A-Z Challenge. Pour yourself a cup, sit back and enjoy! 38 seconds. That’s the time it takes from pushing the button on my Keurig to taking my first morning sip. I know this because I […]
