Forty…Fabulous? – Not So Much!
Spring may be when a young man’s fancy lightly turns to thoughts of love, but for me, this is the May I’ve been dreading for 39 years. Yes, I’m gonna hit 40. Did I just admit that on paper? I must be getting old. Facing 40 makes you ponder some of life’s biggest most mysterious [...]

Whispers about the Lake Worth Playhouse being haunted have been going on for generations. The likely cause is the unusual story of the Oakley brothers who built the playhouse back in 1924. One brother committed suicide, the other died on the very same day, one year later. Coincidence? Maybe, but that’s all it takes to [...]

We are a culture fascinated with television and movie personalities. Once gossip lived only in the tabloid pages that line the checkout counters in supermarkets. Now our homes are invaded during the serious six-o’clock news. We no longer question the credibility of broadcasters who open with the birth of a celebrity baby instead of headlines [...]

Read full story...Yoav on the Brink of his Big Break
Listening to the music of Yoav, it’s hard to believe that the sounds coming from the acoustic guitar are only coming from an acoustic guitar. If you only heard Yoav, you’d think drums, a synthesizer if not a few other instruments accompanied his guitar, but nope, he goes solo, just a guy and his guitar. [...]

Every year around this time, we are reminded that it’s time to reflect on our blessings and be thankful. However, I can’t help wondering about these things… Is it the media, or me?

Lately I’ve had some run-ins with people I like to classify as the ill tempered and ill mannered. They come in all shapes and sizes, some are your friends and family, some are your co-workers, and some fall into a strange category that has no name. Ex spouses, and perhaps your future spouse’s ex.
