I was in the Apple Store yesterday, more specifically the Genius Bar, with miscellaneous airport issues. I asked my genius what is the best way to clean my keyboard. He said shut the machine down and clean everything except the screen with a Mr. Clean sponge. A Mr. Clean sponge?
A commercial is being shot at [...]

I don’t love The Yankees. My heart was ripped out a couple of week ago. I’m not referring to the ER post. I’m referring to game 4 of the NLCS. We (The Dodgers) were so close. I’ve been wanting to do a baseball post since April. We even did this Baseball Promo (shown above) piece [...]
New Rhythm (or Ted goes to the ER)

There is something rhythmic, organized, very dependable about hanging clothes on the line. The steady progression of taking a wet shirt out of the laundry basket and placing one then another clothes pin in just that right place. Call it balance. The sun and wind begin their work immediately. I sometimes count each item of [...]
Ollie Looses His First Tooth

After many weeks of wiggling, Oliver Moss Catanzaro has lost his first tooth! The first grade peer pressure was extremely tough. Eddie apparently has lost 18 teeth and Charlie Ahearn lost 10 teeth while slipping in the bathtub. Neither of these stories have been substantiated.
The tooth came out Sunday evening before bed when Ollie threw [...]

I remember once while working in Miami I was talking to a model who out of nowhere says, “You know, The Boat show is in town.” This struck me as strange since I don’t own a boat, wear nautical attire or give the airs of someone who would be interested in boats. Then a few [...]
Remains of Summer

When you leave your garden for 6 weeks some things die and some things flourish. The sprinklers are on a timer but still, I’m out there everyday weeding, pruning and hand watering those hard to get areas. There’s a great book by Elsa Beskow called Christopher’s Harvest Time where a boy is miniaturized and taken [...]

It’s Time to go home
All things must past. Good and bad. During the last few days on Kauai both Debbie and I tried to cherish all that we could, hoping that just maybe, some part of it will remain with us till next year. The sound of the wind, the ocean and the rain at [...]
In Memory of Roger

Call them Leprechauns, gnomes, fairies, homunculus. In Hawaiian lore they are called the Menehune. These little forest people who are sometimes mischievous, sometimes helpful towards good causes. They are builders of roads and dams. They are protectors of the forests. There’s a story my kids love called Laka’s Canoe from a book called Tales of [...]
The Secret Of Acapulco

Spanning the globe to bring you the constant variety of sports… My favorite was cliff diving from Acapulco. The competition always involved the U.S vs Mexico. If other countries were involved ABC never showed us. Keith Jackson (and my Dad) said that “you need time the waves perfectly ” or meet your doom on the [...]
