Ah, nostalgia! And what better than nostalgia connected to lessons we can learn about today.

Losing doesn’t seem fair so why not stop playing?

Ah! Dealing with ‘pandemic fatigue’ with willpower and booze. All roads lead to the same place.

My grandpa and Mother Theresa offer some advice.

A bit of Casino Life, a taste of storytelling philosophy, and a show I produced in Chicago that challenged the notion that we are intractable different rather similar from one another.

An ape of Ginsburg’s “Howl” and the realization that while so many of are lonely, we Gen Xers were practically built for pandemic.

In these times of cultural, political, and environmental upheaval, keeping ourselves in check and optimistic might be the difference between “getting busy living or getting busy dying.” Me? I’m going to be living.

What do you wear for the End of the World? And a quick character sketch of a casino guest from hell.

Reflections on how wrong I so frequently am about life and culture as well as a bit of analogizing of how we speak to once another as a kind of music.

The sense of being overwhelmed in a world with so many people and so many opinions is somehow more palpable these days.

A quick update on Las Vegas in the world of pandemic, a reflection on the concept of polarized fear mongering, and the idea that trauma can either be a learning experience or a crippling experience depending upon how one views pain.

The Catch-22 of social media, a trip to the north of the state, and the optimistic belief that COVID will not stop Vegas from rising.

With the planet spinning increasingly out of control, I share a quick trio of takeaways I’ve concluded (at least for this week). A bit of “tough love” philosophy, a look at the recent looting in Chicago, and a direct comparison of the the PRMC of Tipper Gore and the Puritans of Social Justice.
