When Jessie May offered to take me to The Chocolate Expo at the Maritime Center as a member of the press I jumped at the chance. Visions of chocolate, caramel and other assorted goodies danced in my head as I imagined the diabetes I’d surely be stricken with by the end of the excursion. If… Continue reading Chocolate Expo Walks the Plank at the Maritime Center

Review of Arisen Upon Oblivion by Unfathomed of Abyss
Arisen Upon Oblivion by Unfathomed of Abyss (a.k.a. Kevin Price) is an ambitious album with a purpose. “Arisen Upon Oblivion was purposely created to appeal to fans of the black metal genre while simultaneously revolting those who prefer the easy listening that accompanies today’s pop charts.” Furthermore, “Unfathomed of Abyss is Price’s attempt to develop… Continue reading Review of Arisen Upon Oblivion by Unfathomed of Abyss
EP Review: Manilow’s Cease and Desist
Sorry, Manilow, I will not Cease and Desist, your EP is way too much fun. The opening track “Missing” immediately made me think of the classic “movie-montage” featuring lots of story told only with moving pictures as the music perfectly punctuates the action. And the cover of the EP, with a speedboat racing a la… Continue reading EP Review: Manilow’s Cease and Desist

When Diane Nyad swam to Cuba and subsequently ended up on Oprah, the atheist world was set afire when Winfrey declared atheists did not feel “awe” or “wonder.” Now, as an atheist myself, I wondered what… Continue reading Aww…I Read a Book!
Manners for Beach Goers
Let’s get this straight from the start. Cove Island Park is my beach. I am there a thousand times a year, literally. I am there when it’s 113 degrees in August and I am there when it’s five degrees in February. And I’m there with my dog, so it’s his beach, too. When the weather… Continue reading Manners for Beach Goers
Places to Go: Kosciuszko Park, Stamford
I recently discovered Kosciuszko Park in Stamford. I always knew it was there, but I’d never actually gone in. It’s in what used to be the South End, but now that it’s been rebranded as Harbor Point I figured it was safe for a white lady to walk her friend’s dog there. Kidding… half-kidding.… Continue reading Places to Go: Kosciuszko Park, Stamford
