Like Frank sang it, it's nice to go traveling, but it's oh so nice to come home, especially when you bring home your son. Thank you to all for your kind words and support through our adoption times.
The picture below is us on Saturday night around midnight, sitting in the Charlotte NC airport after our flight was delayed.
Note how awake and happy he is. That was not the case yesterday.
Prior to this little scene of familial bliss, you could have seen us sprinti... MORE

Looking back, 2007 was a good year for me, despite having been overworked for parts of it. Largely thanks to other moggers, I heard more new music than probably in any other year so far in my life. (My year-end list of albums is coming next week.) I managed to travel a fair bit. I was fortunate to meet several fantastic moggers in real life. (Something that I hope will happen again in 2008!) Despite periods of lacking inspiration or stumbling into obstacles in my research, I ... MORE

1959, Melbourne Australia. Frank Sinatra with a killer jazz quintet led by Red Norvo. Dig the vibes intro on this most excellent version of Night and Day.

Today is Ole Blue Eyes' birthday, but don't see much about it on mog yet- this is oe of my favorite tracks, pulled from the Capitol Years compilation. I love the intro w/ Frank and "Felix" chatting about the orchestration, and then the pure, sweet sound of Sinatra in his prime. sigh. no wonder he got laid so often...... MORE

My little coffee experiment is coming to an end. Not because I have a better job and can afford good coffee now but, well, because, just because. First the drink – it was a $1.79 for about 300grams of Kroger Value coffee. Yes, even cheaper than straight up Kroger Brand coffee. The can is wonderfully generic in packaging you’d almost swear you saw this on the shelf in the film Repo Man in the grocery store scenes. It’s got the word “value” prominently displayed along the ... MORE

This spring I took a huge leap and joined the beginning tap class at my theatre. To my surprise (and the surprise of many others, I'm sure) I didn't suck. It was loads of fun and I've been missing it this summer as our teacher is busy working on a show. This is one of many songs she had us dance to. So I was tres excited when I went to work yesterday and learned we will have classes again in September. I need to pull out my shoes and brush up on my shuffle-ball-chan... MORE

It really is quarter to three. I hope no one is expecting me to be alert during my morning meeting. Thanks Frank....

Hard to believe that Cool died nine years ago today. Francis Albert Sinatra, the Chairman of the Board, Ol’ Blue Eyes, the Voice, or just simply Frank, captured something that has yet to be duplicated. He remains the only reason I’ve ever cruised the Easy Listening section at a record store. He is still a source of inspiration, despite no longer being with us.... MORE

I'm sorry, I know there are a lot of loyal fans.
I'm frequently told I would like his early stuff, and maybe I'm just missing that crucial angle. But, for now, Frank Sinatra's music makes me want to projectile vomit. Dunno why. It just is. He seemed like a nice enough guy. I saw some movie he was in early in his career (when he was like 90lbs) and he did a good job . . . Heck, I like Nancy's single... MORE

Sooner or later, you're bound to be disappointed.
You'll eagerly await the release date of a new album by one of your favorite artists, only to discover that it's just...not so hot. Oh, you'll give it a chance, because you've already made a financial investment in the music and an emotional investment in being a fan of the artist, but ultimately you'll file it away and pretend not to notice. With some great artists (Sinatra, Dylan, Neil Young. Elvis 1 and Elvis 2), creat... MORE

This is a MOG for Frankie Sinatra... Just cause I'll always love the guy and he'll always be the greatest crooner ever. My favorite tune is "Luck Be a Lady" (--minus Chrissie Hyne). Hit me with your favorite tune if you love ol' Blue Eyes too...... MORE
