Here I go with a few more famous encounters: Name: Steven Tyler, lead singer, Aerosmith. 2006 Logan International Airport, Boston, 1AM Me: "Steve? Sorry to bother you. I'm a fan and thank you for all of the music." Tyler: "Right on brother!" (Hugs me) "What is everyone doing here in the middle of the night?" … Continue reading DIG FOR THE STORY II
DIG FOR THE STORY
From time to time, I have met "famous" people. This has happened both by purpose and/or being in the right place at the right time. These people have included musicians and professional athletes. If the situation permits, I have always asked them to tell me a story or tidbit that I won't read about in … Continue reading DIG FOR THE STORY
TICK TICK TICK
“I counted my years and realised that I have less time to live by, than I have lived so far. I feel like a child who won a pack of candies: at first, he ate them with pleasure but when he realized that there was little left, he began to taste them intensely. I have … Continue reading TICK TICK TICK
WORDS
This week I am going to help all of us understand what to say and what not to say to a disabled individual. After a quick search of the Google machine, one learns that there is already a wealth of information about this topic all over the inter-webs. As with everything, some of the information … Continue reading WORDS
‘CUZ IT’S FUNNY
Today I just had to steal, because this list is cracking me up. I have always enjoyed the deadpan comedian Steven Wright. I have reprinted this without permission, but I don't think anyone will mind because.....we ALL need a little humor between the state of the world and the country. Let's all come together and … Continue reading ‘CUZ IT’S FUNNY
CHUCK
Today I would like to share a story that could only have happened on an adventure like this... In August of 2012, I journeyed to Alaska for a guided tour of the final frontier. The locals up there refer to all of us down here as "you people in the lower 48." It is a … Continue reading CHUCK
FUNNY, NOT FUNNY
Any teacher will tell you that there are stories. Many, many stories. Most times the stories are heartfelt, and innocent kid stuff. Some stories are hilarious, some are tragic, but all of them make great memories and great stories. Here's one that I haven't thought about in a long, long time.... Summer of 2001. In … Continue reading FUNNY, NOT FUNNY
MUSINGS VOL. 4
Hello loyal readers and people who accidentally clicked on Moeschen looking for "motion" (no one actually does that...but I'm sure they search those terms the other way around! what?). I've decided to go with some life musings today, with a twist: All of the stuff mentioned below is non-fiction. I hold no judgment of any … Continue reading MUSINGS VOL. 4
THE RIVALRY
Boston Red Sox vs. New York Yankees. One of the best rivalries in baseball, and, in my opinion, all of sports. Even if you are not a fan of the game, if you live in either city, surely you have heard about these two teams battling each other on the diamond for more than 100 … Continue reading THE RIVALRY
NOSTALGIA
When I was about 9 or 10 years old, I began getting into baseball. I played locally, watched my home team (Boston Red Sox) on tv as much as possible, and when I couldn't watch, I would listen to the games on the radio. Many late nights I awoke with headphones on still listening to … Continue reading NOSTALGIA
