Ten days, 35 KC friends, and one Mediterranean cruise later, I have thoughts. (And aches & pains in places I didn't know existed.)

I've questioned a few life choices and walked enough steps to qualify for new hips. Read more in my latest travel blog.

I've got 35 Kansas Citians on a big Greek adventure with me — and plenty of 'em are cruise newbies.

After days of doling out advice to first-timers, I turned my cruising wisdom into a cheat sheet.

Avoid rookie mistakes — and read more in my blog!

40 years ago today, after a nightmare 1985 season, SNL fired 75% of its cast and filled it w/groundlings kids and stand ups.

The opening night was a Dana Carney tour de force.

Whoa. @KXNOForever ... I think you have a problem here.

Today — on my day off — my intrusive thoughts won.

By “intrusive thoughts,” I mean my inner fat kid.

Baskin-Robbins called to me with a shameless Biscotti malt promotion.

I’m a sucker for marketing. And sugar.

So, naturally, I pulled over.

Trust me, I never stood a chance.

This is the classic Christmas piece "Carol of the Bells," composed by the Ukrainian composer Mykola Leontovych (based on the Ukrainian folk song "Shchedryk").

The version in the video you're watching is a piano arrangement by William J. Ross.

My motto in life? Learn to find the good-good light.

As a boy of a certain age who hasn’t mastered the art of filters, I need to know how to shave five years off in a pinch.

The trick? Find a window w/ a sheer curtain, frosted glass or soft light. Overhead lighting is a beast.

OK, kids. When I find something you absolutely need to own, Imma tell you. This “All in One KC” shirt from local designer Earl Clarkson? Yes, please.

4 KC teams. Iconic landmarks. Ridiculously good design.

And those colors? I’m obsessed.

Just heard former @KMBZradio producer Rod Babcock passed away last night.

He was a beloved hubs, father, colleague & friend. Infectious laugh. Unrivaled conversationalist. Unparalleled snark & sass.

As @jonkmbz said: “Don’t take the people you love for granted. Make the time.”
