Just finished Matterhorn
Matterhorn: A Novel of the Vietnam War by Karl Marlantes My rating: 3 of 5 stars Every combat veteran says the same thing about war: It’s filled with long periods of extreme boredom and short bursts of chaos. That’s what it felt like reading Matterhorn. The action saved this book. It was worth it to slog through. While Marlantes successfully delved into the psyches and motivation...
CoachTalk: Modern Day Athlete →
One of the biggest roadblocks I have encountered the past 6 years as a girls high school coach is the openess of my gay athletes. There has always been gay athletes but this generation of gay athletes seem to have different motives.

Last week in Los Angeles I participated in a live Q&A as part of an ASCAP expo on songwriting. When the topic of Twitter came up, I explained my waning interest in it being part of my daily life. By no means do I think it’s over as a medium altogether, but I do think that the days of “Twitter: The…

Stephen King’s ‘Dark Tower’ Set For Film Trilogy,... →
