My birthday came around again (dammit), and to ease the pain, my pals Jae, Kristin and Stephanie took me on another Buttkick List adventure. This time we migrated to a music store in Huntington Beach, CA. You see, I’ve never had a musical lesson in my life, so playing a song on an instrument is was […]

Zeus and his fellow gods and goddesses on Mt. Olympus must really be Greecing the skids for me. It seems every time I’m ordered to spend weeks off my feet, Zeus sends his special spectacle to the rescue! Back in 1988, I went into preterm labor with Mychaela and was put on bed rest for eight weeks, […]
