It’s the End of the World As We Know It and I Feel … Peace

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:02 am By Cathleen Falsani

The idea of losing my father terrified me and made me panicky. I wouldn’t let Daddy leave the house without telling him to be careful and that I loved him, whether his destination was a transcontinental flight or a trip to the Stop & Shop down the street.

Getting Ready for Christmas Day

Last updated on: March 10, 2015 at 10:03 am By Cathleen Falsani

My sweet friend talks about his song from his latest album, So Beautiful or So What. Dunno about you, but after this Thanksgiving, I’m ready for Christmas day. Lest we wander into maudlin territory, here is a little gem from memory lane: What Mr. Simon was doing on Thanksgiving, 36 years ago. Still crazy wonderful after all these years… [hulu id=idhb4mi6268aefzgzph-mg width=512] Read more
