Poor little girl… Mads got her first, TWO bee stings yesterday. Playing outside, the wasp or bee got her face. When she reached up in pain… ZAP! between the fingers. I guess she is not allergic (thank God), but it sure smarted her. Can you think of any good bee sting songs? hmmmm Go with [...]

Normally, I am a lyrics guy. I pay attention to what is being said in a song. And a song with a great story will usually capture my imagination (or romantic songs… awwww). I was mighty surprised that is took a cover of a classic favourite from Interpol to actually get what the song was [...]

That is a party to the 6th power… AND multiple supernovas is spelled supernovae… or something like that. Mental. Messier 83 gets cut down to M83 for [...]

“The truth/ is you could slit my throat/and with my one last grasping breath/ I’d apologize for bleeding on your shirt.” and that my friends is how you write one of the greatest emo songs of all time. Back in 2002, the kids from Long Island called Taking Back Sunday put out their record Tell [...]

Poor little mouse. Bike riding last night on her Runners Bike and off she tumbled during a particularly death-defying stunt down a gravelly hill-path.
