Welcome to my little Nerdery on the Net! :)

Whilst waiting to be seated at a packed restaurant, a couple who got seated at the bar ahead of us came back out soon after with the statement “It wasn’t fun…we waited four minutes!” If your level of patience is that low…might I respectfully suggest you stay in and cook your own dinner? The upside is that the hostesses won’t be able to resist trying to figure out which parties coming in the door has…

Today would have been my father’s 73rd birthday and was easy to remember given the more famous man he shared it with! He passed away three weeks short of making 71 and his birthdays since have been wonderful days to remember the good times we had together and share one with the audience.

It is so amusing watching the pundits heaping abuse upon Blake Bortles and yet he’s managed to get the Jaguars to a shot at knocking off the Patriots. Much like no one gave him a chance when UCF (the undefeated REAL NCAA National Champions for 2018!) gave the BCS no choice but to put them into the last Fiesta Bowl before the playoff system.

Maybe it might help you understand at least a tiny bit why there are times we might not smile as much or want to howl at the moon in sheer frustration. How we’d do anything to take away…

For as long as I can remember…it really never seemed like Christmas to me until it was time to spend a few hours with Jimmy Stewart and the residents of Bedford Falls. We’ve spent enough time together these many years that we are practically family. These last couple of years, I’ve had the treat of the privilege of shooting the dress rehearsal of “It’s a Wonderful Life” at the Gilbert Theatre in Fayetteville. A happy…
