Mr. Bennett
Somewhere high on a hill halfway to the stars, above the blue and windy sea, a man sits in the morning fog. He calls to me. Rest in Peace, Tony Bennett. The golden sun will shine for you.

The Most Thankless Job In Hollywood
So, we saw the new Tom Cruise movie “Mission Impossible: Dead Reckoning” today. Gotta admit, it was fantastic. What got me was the credits. There is a staff headed up by a “Safety and Health Advisor”. I imagine it goes this way: Mr. Advisor: “Mr. Cruise, as your Safety and Health Advisor, I must tell…

Grin and Bear It
The advantage of having a journalist in my immediate family is that we get “Breaking News”. For example, a major news network report this morning was about a black bear visiting a neighborhood.

LarryLand All-Purpose Marinara
I’ve been making this for a VERY long time. Actually, I came up with this when my daughter was in 7th grade. They had a very nice teacher who had a kitchen class, and for a few years I would come in and do a demonstration (therefore, I was the Kitchen Class Clown). The thing…

Jurassic LarryLand
It occurs to me that in the Jurassic Park Movies, you have all of these huge dinosaurs running around with no collars and therefore no idea when they’re trying to imitate a cow. More Cowbells, I say.
