OMG! I was standing at the check out this morning with a basketful of stuff we forgot to get yesterday, and there it was: my favorite yearly issue of PEOPLE Magazine, flaunting the face of this year’s SEXIEST MAN ALIVE (hence it being my favorite issue…) and who else could it possibly be but JOHNNY [...]

I am one of Pavlov’s pups when it comes to this song by Edwin McCain. “I’ll Be” (see below) and “I Could Not Ask For More” set standards for romance in popular music. Read (and hear!) more about this soulful troubadour at his website. Turn up (or down, as the case may be) your speakers [...]

Good Friday morning, all! I am full of interesting thoughts today. Been playing lots of great music lately, spinning classic rock and new tunes that speak to the heart. I have a little MP3 player that’s loaded with lots of my favorites, from Boz Skaggs to Rob Thomas, Richard Marx to Boy George. Lyrics are [...]

When I remembered this setting, I immediately felt the same emotion that poured into me the first time I saw the film Pearl Harbor. This is an epic film, one that encompasses romance, history, tragedy. A picture that has something for everybody. It starts off slow, recounting the childhood friendship of the two male protags, [...]

This is amusing. As I was perusing movies that feature (no matter how small) lighthouses, I was delighted to see one of my very favorite movies on the list: DOUBLE JEOPARDY with Ashley Judd and Tommy Lee Jones. Really a big favorite. There are many scenes in and around water, so I thought, sure, there [...]
