http://www.myheritage.com My Heritage face recognition/celebrity matchup site has been updated with more celebrities, and (perhaps) a better face recognition algorithm (you also have to register). They also have a nice way to transfer the results to your website or blog (as you can see). I wrote about this site almost a year ago. Back then, it informed me that I … Read More
A Day Of Bliss
A belated toast to Jeff and Heather. Mozeltov! A beautiful day for a beautiful wedding of a beautiful couple.
On The Radio
I will be appearing on the radio, WBFJ (89.3 FM), tomorrow morning sometime between 8:00 and 8:30, plugging my show, God’s Favorite at the Clemmons Community Players. Listen live here.
Oh, Hi!
Haven’t blogged for a while. Just a stready stream of hits are keeping me busy these days. Too bad really. I would have liked to chimed in on Imus (who cares), Schilling’s pitching (yay, it’s back), various machinations going on in our nation’s capital (shorter version: Republicans suck)… But mostly, I would have liked to have written a timely kudos … Read More
Slammed!
Ugh. Too many pots in the fire. Or cooks in the broth. Or fans fanning the flames. Or something. In any event, there’s a lot of craziness with my job at the moment. Higher-ups and colleagues are out of the country, which basically means I have keys to the car this week, which basically means that I’m overseeing 25 attorneys … Read More
Daddy’s Dyin’s Dead
Well, the run is over, and the show was a surprising success. Trailer trash comedies really pack ’em in down here. Saturday night sold out (we turned people away), and even the Sunday matinee had a hefty 160-plus. The play itself is (IMHO) not as entertaining as Del Shores’ "Sordid Lives", and my contrubitions to this particular production were not … Read More

Battle Fatigue And Xmas Photomoblogging
It seems like this is National Let’s-Tell-Ken-What’s-Wrong-With-Him Week. Everywhere I turn –at work and outside — people seem quite content to spread holiday cheer by inserting probes into me and giving me their amateurish psychological assessments, and acting contrarian simply for (it seems) the sake of contrarianism. It’s beyond annoying, and I’m not sure why this is happening. I see … Read More
My December Horoscope
Stunning breakthroughs are rare enough events in your life. You tend to prefer putting one foot in front of the other to the flying karate kick. Looking back, you’ve done a lot of that this year, that is, the moving forward one step at a time, thankfully, without looking back. But the real journey has been an extremely careful assessment … Read More
The Playbill Meme
I got it from Emily, who got it from Playbill: Full given name: Kenneth Richard Ashford Hometown: Born in Omaha, Nebraska, but I consider Concord NH (where I was raised) my "hometown" Zodiac sign: Libra Audition song: It used to be "You Are Sixteen Going On Seventeen", but that just gets sillier as I become a forty-something. Now it’s whatever … Read More

The Movie Meme
1. Popcorn or candy? Gotta say "candy". Popcorn’s good, but then I get thirsty. And so I have to drink. And then I have to pee. What? TMI? 2. Name a movie you’ve been meaning to see forever. Wow. There are so many movie classics that I’ve never really seen: Lawrence of Arabia, All About Eve, North By Northwest, All … Read More
Pictures From Rebecca’s Wedding
Cameraphone didn’t do justice. She was beautiful and not at all tinted green. A terrific day for a terrific couple, and I was glad to witness it.

A smattering of uncaptioned photos (some a bit unflattering) here.
