Winter’s coming (that’s a thing, right?)
Sure, there might be a month and change left in the summer, technically speaking. But when I woke up this morning, I couldn’t shake the feeling that the days were running out. I’m a big fan of summer, and so far, I’ve had a great one. But there’s always so much I want to do, […]

Total bullshit I tell my baby
James Brown was basically a benevolent dictator. On his records and in concert, he’d put questions like “Can I count it off?” or “Can we hit it and quit?” to a democratic vote among his backing band. But you’ll notice they were careful never to disagree with him. “Can we take it to the bridge?” […]

Pay no attention to those garbled sleepness notes behind the curtain!
If you subscribe to this blog through my feed, then it looks like you just got a very rough version of my previous post. I’ve updated it since, and although I’d like to blame the free app that WordPress created for iPhone bloggers, I might also have to plead a little distracted sleeplessness on my […]
When the day is done, the day is done
I’ve started doing this thing where I stop working at midnight. If you know me and/or follow this blog, then you know I’m a night owl, and you know I like to take on a bunch of fun and creative projects that tend to feel like obligations in the wee hours. So I’ve drawn a […]

Big difficult day ahead
I’ve mentioned before that one of the things I like about the jet lag you get coming back from the UK is that it basically compels you to get out of bed early. I usually try to maintain an early schedule for as long as I can, and I love the feeling of getting a […]

We’ll be back
Now that we’ve gotten to the last full day of the trip, we can’t help but take an inventory of all the things we didn’t get around to doing. It would have been nice to get to the fairground. We might have enjoyed another night at that restaurant where my kid was so well behaved. […]

Congratulations, Nicole and Vince!
My sister-in-law Nicole is marrying a terrific fellow named Vince today. They’ve picked a beautiful day for it, and it’s going to be an awesome way to end our two weeks on the island. We’re getting up insanely early tomorrow morning – or late tonight, Eastern Standard Time – to load a toddler onto an […]

Say, any CPDJA members out there?
I’m putting some thought into joining the Canadian Professional Disc Jockey Association, and I’d like to know if any of you are members who can speak to the pros and cons. I’ve been looking to expand my business and my reach, and having done a little preliminary research into the association, I can see a […]

Getting down to the last few days
It’s official, you guys. I’ve gotten to the point in my vacation at which it’s become as impossible as it is vital to pretend I’m not getting up at 4:30 AM on Monday morning to get on a transatlantic plane with a toddler.

A great new year on the horizon
A couple of months from today, I’m going to turn thirty-four. It’ll be the first day my thirty-fifth year alive. I feel like making it a great one. Of course, it’s one thing to say that, and another to do it. It doesn’t even make much sense to talk about a “great year” without thinking […]
