When I was a kid, one of the coolest things to me was crossovers. I still remember the anti-drug Saturday morning special that teamed Garfield with the Smurfs. It had everyone from Alf to the Muppet Babies in it, and it blew my little 11 year old mind. About a year ago I got the […]

Origin of the Feces
Those of you with weak stomachs may want to click away now, for today my topic of discussion is: (cue diabolical music)……poopy diapers! This is on my mind because Baby Edward has just recently started on the solid foods and, as they say, what you eat is what you excrete. At least they should say […]
In Choir
Last night was my last choir rehearsal at the First and Franklin Street Presbyterian Church (on neither first, nor franklin streets, by the way). This was the start of my third season singing with them, and a terrible time to leave. Sunday the 19th will be my last Sunday with the choir, just one week […]
Umbilical Cables
So as I mentioned the other day, my laptop is dead. This is not really acceptable, as it contains a lot of data that is not otherwise backed up. Luckily, the problem is not with the hard drive, and it seems that the hard drive data is fine. I should be able to get it […]
Hershey Park
Blog the Tenth: in which junk is eaten, pants are peed, and prizes are won This past weekend we made our third and final attempt to get to Hershey Park. We had plans to go with a friend of my wife and her daughter, but it has been a comedy of errors trying to actually […]
Too Little For Skittles
My laptop died yesterday. I mean really died. It is getting power, but it won’t turn on. I’ve tried to start it plugged in without the battery, I’ve let it sit for hours and tried again. I took the entire thing apart, screw by screw, and re-seated every component, but still it lies there, silently, […]
Tonal Eclipse
I am leaving for New York one week from tomorrow. This is partly exciting, and mostly terrifying. The exciting parts are the fault of my agent, my voice teacher, and my family. The terrifying parts are the fault of Leonard Bernstein. I suppose he thought, since it was his last show, that he could write […]
Pre-Format Anxiety
I have a DVD player. I use it almost daily. I have a huge collection of DVDs, all sorted nicely in their tower shelves. When I watch movies at home I exclusively watch them on my DVD player, or saved on the DVR. I can even watch Netflix movies on my Wii now, by putting […]
9 Years Ago Today
I woke up as usual and took the metro to downtown Washington, DC, ready to start my day at Chorus America. It was a fairly quiet Tuesday morning. My roommates were on their honeymoon in Canada, so I had the house to myself and I felt pretty relaxed. The first I heard that anything was […]
