There's a scene in the movie Goodfellas when wig shop owner and independent bookmaker Morrie Kesseler gets whacked most unceremoniously by Tommy DeVito (played by Joe Pesci). One minute he's climbing into a Cadillac with the intent of negotiating his share of a big score over coffee whilst picking up a danish to bring to his wife Claire,… Continue reading The Fight To Regain Sanity

There’s a time for kneeling, and a time for standing up
I am totally down with the new Nike ad campaign that features former NFL quarterback Colin Kaepernick, even if I'm not sold on the feng shui of this union just yet.

As far as afflictions go, the one I am forever doing battle with is one that seems downright quaint and dare I say . . without entering the hyperbolic chamber . . . stoic? I can't lie. And I'm not just talking about my hips either. Nah . . that there refers to all five… Continue reading Has “Shark Week” Jumped Itself?
