Through “the Roof”

A couple of weeks ago I agreed to be the guest teacher at LBC and gave their theater class a crash course in the world of improv. As a way of saying thank you, the professor, Kristen, gave Sarah and I two tickets to see “Fiddler on the Roof” now playing at the historic Fulton [...]

A Steve Martin Christmas

So, yea, Sarah got me the new Steve Martin autobiography for Christmas. I read it in just a couple of hours. Funny how quickly it goes when you’re really into a book. It’s called “Born Standing Up” and is a rare insight into a very private person. It was a great read and I was [...]

Hark the Hiram

I don’t often blog about music and my recommendations because, and I’ll be honest, I know my musical taste lies somewhere…somewhere most people aren’t entirely down with. Not that I don’t like good music (or, at least what other people consider “good”), but for every Ryan Adams or Akon song I have in my iTunes, [...]

Talking, Not Doing

‘Tis the season to gather with old friends and family and reminisce about the “good old days.” It’s a lot of fun to laugh with and remind one another about past adventures and shenanigans, and also to pass the stories onto those who may not have been around at the time the event actually happened.

Merry Christmas to You

If you’re reading this, then more than likely you are considered either a “friend” or “family.” Maybe even both. Regardless, Sarah and I have made a special Christmas video just for you.

Sometimes they’re sitting in a restaurant talking or standing around at an art museum talking or hanging out at someone’s apartment talking or [...]

Year in Review (2007)

‘Tis the season for my annual look back at the previous year, a way for me to keep you informed on what I‘ve been doing and a way for me to spend a Saturday afternoon. A lot happened in ‘07 so let’s get right to it (in some cases I have written a blog about [...]

The Return of Aaron

Last night Aaron Marrs was alive again.
Aaron was a really good friend of mine who worked at Gotee Records with me in Nashville. He was an aspiring filmmaker who had traveled to Alaska to make a documentary on deep-sea crab fishermen. He then joined the crew for a season to earn money to finance [...]

A Pretty Good Day

We’ve all been asked the question whether it was in an email survey or a MySpace bulletin blast or even in conversation over coffee and fries: What would your perfect day be like?
I’ve never really cared for that question because I don’t have an answer for it. There are so many things I like to [...]

Where Ed meets Ed meets Ed

Today is going to be a pretty interesting day in that it will include a few different aspects of my life all rolled into one. I guess it’s not unlike Scrooge where he visits various points in his past all in one day. Except that I’m not an old miserly British guy disgusted by the [...]
