(This article is not about the weather. But yes, it was very chilly.) I had two great reasons to wander through downtown Alliance this early evening. First, I visited the Carnegie Arts Center. It is truly one of the crown jewels of our fair city, and right now they’re displaying items from their 2025 Anniversary … Continue reading A Chilly Evening In Alliance, Nebraska
I did a deep search of this blog because I was absolutely convinced I had already posted this interview on Wentyworld. But, turns out I didn’t. It’s not like people haven’t had the chance to hear it…I’ve posted it 14 ways from Sunday. But, for those who haven’t heard it, and since Conan is having … Continue reading The Conan Interview
As I try to get back in the swing of things blog-writing-wise, I am faced with the unpleasant reality that I have already written about every unique or memorable chapter of my life. And quite a few that are neither unique nor memorable. But! I do have this one story…. Fall of 1995. SUNY Brockport … Continue reading Pizza Party With Adam Sandler
I’m back from vacation! It was a trip to Los Angeles that I would grade a B-minus. The weather was distinctly not Californian, but being a Nebraskan it was still 76% better than what we get this time of year. Also affecting my vacation report card: 4 out of 5 Uber drivers could not find … Continue reading Watching The Wheel (And Jeopardy)
Mercy! It has been a dog’s age since I’ve written something for ye olde blogge. Do I have a legitimate excuse? No. Do I have completely fraudulent excuses?

A few years ago on Facebook, some dear friends and I shared photo memories of a trip to New York City that happened in the Spring of 1998. It was my final year at SUNY Brockport, a year during which I had a quote-unquote “humor column” in the student newspaper. Which is fortunate, because I … Continue reading Wenty and Adam and Pat and Heather and Sally
I take great pride in my ability to have fun on vacations despite my long list of problems and catastrophes while traveling. For example! My sister Joey Bean and I went to L.A. In a fit of shenanigans, I started jumping on the hotel room bed…and promptly fell off and laded on my hand. I … Continue reading Vacation Tribulation

Well, I am zonked out today but it’s entirely worth it. I spent last evening at Alliance’s mystic house of fun known as the Dead Unicorn Society, for the album premiere party of Kalin Krohe’s “Deja Vu”! Great music, great food, great friends….you can’t ask for much more than that. Just to get you up … Continue reading Deja Vu!
Several weeks ago, as you may recall, my pal Kalin Krohe taped me acting like a moron with a bottle of ketchup and a bottle of mustard and put it on his Tik Tok account. Over 600,000 people have seen this video. One of them is an independent film director. He is currently working on … Continue reading TikTokus Interruptus
