So Ben Jones of Absolute Radio in the UK was going to interview Jon Bon Jovi about the upcoming Bon Jovi album "The Circle," and he asked fans to submit questions. And Teresa did, first a list of 8 or so and then a few more individual ones. The interview is being broadcast tomorrow, but [...]
Read MoreThanks to maru1221, I (and everyone else) can now see my wife Teresa at the Bon Jovi concert at the TD BankNorth Garden arena, July 10. She keeps a camera in front of her face during her screentime, but if you look closely, starting around 1:46, you can see her trying to focus past Richie [...]
Read MoreFriday was an interesting day. And I use the word "interesting" with loaded meaning (couldn't find the right smilie to indicate that, so here we are). High point: finding out with an hour to spare that I would get to do a phone interview with Joss Whedon. All I really remember was that I was [...]
Read MoreTeresa has decided to become a full-time groupie. Not just the type who gushes about her band online, pins posters around her room and writes "Mrs. Bon Jovi" on her notebooks, although she does that too (not the Mrs. part, she said she has no interest in leaving our marriage or breaking his; I believe [...]

I am constantly surprised at how many intelligent people fail to share my unshakeable belief: every other person on the road is purposely out to kill you. Well, maybe [...]
Read MoreThis May my teenage son, Tony, complained about needing money during his summer break at UCF. My wife, Teresa, said, jokingly, "Hey, I'd pay you to take your brother away." Tony asked, in all seriousness, how much. And the Summer of Unexpected Delight began. For a bit less than it usually cost us to board, [...]
Read MoreAfter a great deal of consideration and argument, we have decided to redo our living room in classic Addams Family style. The argument was over whether to redecorate at all, of course, since usually we're too lazy to remodel anything we can't reach from the couch. Once we made the commitment, actually deciding on the [...]
Read MoreFriends and neighbors, I come before you today to say the Internet is not just an invaluable tool for researchers, not just a best friend to every lonely single guy in the world, not just a source of entertainment and community and wonderment and video game cheat codes. It's also the greatest boon for hypochondriacs [...]
