January 28, 2012 - Brooklyn's Shake Shack

It may not have been the healthiest choice for lunch... BUT WHO CARES??? LOOK AT THAT CRAZY BURGER!!! (Now go get a napkin to wipe the drool off your keyboard.)

January 27, 2012 - Family Portrait Fail

I was trying to get all four dogs to pose for a picture... the shoot was not a success.

January 26, 2012 - Could It Be Magic?

Colleen's "Hail Barry: For The Love of Manilow" was a lot of fun. She, as always, was wonderful, but for the 2nd year in a row, the highlight for me was watching Tom sing backup for her!

January 25, 2012 - Hucky!

Fill in the blank: "Huckleberry wants his _____ ___ back!"

January 24, 2012 - A Calm(ish) Times Square

Tom and I met our friend Rob at Blue Fin for dinner last night. I must have arrived in the area just as shows were starting because Times Square seemed incredibly calm to me (for Times Square,) and actually... kind of... pretty?

January 23, 2012 - Lots of Keys!

I had a work dinner at a hotel called The James in Soho. One wall of the lobby was covered in what looked like a cool 3D mosaic, but when I got closer, I could see the "tiles" were actually old keyboard/typewriter keys. It was pretty awesome!

January 22, 2012 - RIP Kevin

I got some sad news that a dear friend passed away recently. It has been many years since Kevin lived in Brooklyn, but we spent a lot of time together when he was here and we kept in touch every once in awhile over the past decade. I thought it fitting to have a drink (or several) in his memory at Excelsior where he had a regular seat at the end of the bar, and where we always had so much fun talking music, politics, and life.

Rest in peace friend.
