Sometimes, I have to borrow writing topics from “the experts”. Today is one of those days, as I try to untangle myself from the weekend and get moving. (Is anyone else struggling with the idea that Thanksgiving for the USA is next Thursday?!? How’d that happen???) Over the weekend, and it might have even been… Continue reading What is your most prized DD possession?

Niavete falls from our eyes
Prospective is an amazing, wondrous thing. Sometimes, a little time and distance shines just the right kind of light on things. Today, I drove my oldest – Heather – to the airport. She flew out to see my sister for about a week. I remember the last time Heather flew anywhere alone. It was also… Continue reading Niavete falls from our eyes
On this date in DD History – The Joint in Vegas!
Do you remember 2003? I sure do. It was the summer of Duran Duran shows, and not just “ordinary” Duran Duran shows…but reunion shows. John, Simon, Roger, Nick and Andy. On stage. Together. For the first time in 20-some years. Complete insanity. My summer began that year with a show in Costa Mesa at the Pacific Amphitheater.… Continue reading On this date in DD History – The Joint in Vegas!
Do You Remember What Happens Tomorrow?
I remember the Astronaut era. Who doesn’t? Thinking back to 2005 (and even a bit prior), it was like a rebirth of my own fandom. I discovered the online Duraniverse for the first time, I engaged with other fans, found a best friend, and found a real home in the community. I know that in hindsight,… Continue reading Do You Remember What Happens Tomorrow?

We’re celebrating early because we’re going to Paso Robles for the weekend, and I’m excited because all three of the kids are going with us. Sunday was lovely,… Continue reading When the lights of hope are fading quickly
35 years and counting…Happy Birthday Planet Earth!
To my complete surprise, we are celebrating another milestone birthday, and a fairly significant one at that today. On this date 35 years ago, the single for Planet Earth/Late Bar was released. First of all, the math MUST be off because I’m only 25, right??? I just don’t get it…. Secondly, this just does not… Continue reading 35 years and counting…Happy Birthday Planet Earth!
Today in Duran History – Nagoya, Japan
On today’s date in 2003, Duran Duran played at Century Hall in Nagoya, Japan. Fans will remember that these shows in Japan were the first shows of the band’s reunion, and this show at Century Hall was #3. Many fans and Duranies traveled from all over the world, including the US, to go to see… Continue reading Today in Duran History – Nagoya, Japan
