Something that has recently been bouncing around in my head is The American Dream. I heard someone on the radio asking if The American Dream still exists. I think that it does. However, I think that they were asking the wrong question. It should be: what is The American Dream for us?

This past week, I had the opportunity to travel to Atsugi Naval Base on the outskirts of Tokyo. This was made possible by Mike Bonner, a long time friend and well known comic. One night at a club, I ran into him and he had asked if I had a passport. I responded, “What do [...]

It’s funny to me how some of our most recent headlines were of “Jon & Kate to divorce.” I kept thinking to myself, “Are you kidding me?” Even more ludicrous were some of the heated discussions on radio of what really happened. It was strange to me that people that have watched the show think that it makes them experts. After all, isn’t there reality in reality TV?

At a June 11th press conference, representatives from both The Science Center as well as the government of Guanajuato, Mexico came together to announce the upcoming exhibit The Accidental Mummies of Guanajuato, which is set to debut on October 10, 2009. Detroit will be fortunate enough to be the first stop of a 3 year tour. The [...]

These days everybody is trying to find fun ways to save money. As summer approaches, there is no need to stay home and twiddle your thumbs because you can’t afford to go out. There are plenty of things to do in the Detroit area that are either free or cost next to nothing. Whether you are [...]

As with many, I am tremendously saddened by the news of Tiger Stadium. For me, this is one of those events that I can say has marked my life. In a way, it has also signaled yet another door closing on my childhood. Instead of grieving silently and privately, I figure that I should share [...]
