Like Sands Through The Hourglass?

I’m not the biggest soap opera buff, but I do have a special place in my heart for DAYS OF OUR LIVES.  Airing adjacent to many of my favorite NBC game shows growing up, I’d often watch at least a few scenes.   Years later, when a friend shared an apartment with an uber fan who

What Might Have Been Is Not What Is

If you were hoping for something light and upbeat today from these musings, I’m sorry to inform you upfront today’s wont be one of those.  Feel free to move on from this if you were hoping for something more educational and informative and slightly more optimistic.

Around The World In 80 Games

Caught up with an old friend the other day at one of our longtime haunts, a TV studio.  Back in the day when we both young, dumb and broke, we used to frequent studio audiences of almost every TV show that would allow us into their studios that taped in New York City.  In that

The Adult In This Room Might Just Be An Elephant

Amidst all the bigger picture tumult of discord among rank and file and the alarmingly tone-deaf tech genuises who resort to distractions such as “coincidental” tree-trimmings and false flag press releases immediately refuted by both those that actually saw their offers, last week there was one small item in the more niggly world that I

The X, Why, Zzzzz Affair

On an otherwise quiet and balmy summer Sunday (side note:  DO go see BARBIE, and tell Ted Cruz to reconsider any thoughts about being a movie critic after he gets voted out of office), my friends Yacco and Wacko took to their favorite social media site to announce to the world that change was about
