So this morning, I said to myself, “Self, we should get a throwdown playlist together so it’s ready to go on Thursday”. Except that today is Thursday – It’s been that kind of week. I mean, I know why – I had a day off on Tuesday for an impromptu trip out of town, and […]
These Throwdowns often start with a single song as their anchor, and kinda spin out from there. This week, the anchor was A$ston Wyld’s Next Level. I like it when a song I forgot about surfaces, and that’s what happened here.

December 1 is, for many people, the threshold over which we must pass before it’s good form to turn on Christmas lights, put up a Christmas tree or decorate their home. I like to start a little earlier so it doesn’t have to feel like so much to do – decorate the house and the […]
When my sister and I were in elementary and high school, my dad attended every parent-teacher interview we had. ALL of them. We were both good students, and there was no reason for him to take up a slot when there was nothing that the teachers needed to discuss, but that didn’t dissuade my dad. […]
