Sharplissa Explains It All

We interrupt this blog for a Public Service Announcement:
My friend John Sharples, famous drummer/musician/lawyer has just put out his first solo CD, I Can Explain Everything, and it’s an essential addition to any respectable CD collection. All of the songs were written for him by his friends or are cover versions of more famous [...]

You Flew Your Lear Jet Up to Nova Scotia

Hey, it was my birthday yesterday, and to celebrate, I somehow got a water blister on my eye!
Work-wise, the hits just keep on coming.

Well, I suppose if this were Space [...]

Drowning in Tunes 2

Drowning in Tunes

Dish Network just added the Sirius Satellite Music stations to the programming package I have, at no extra cost. This is very cool, as I have been wondering for awhile about Sirius (and its competitor, XM) and wondered if it was something I wanted for my car. It’s weird that I can now [...]
