About this blog

This blog looks at how families express themselves and provides practical suggestions for improving communication.  Of course, "effective" and "improving" are value-laden terms, so while you may not agree with each of my suggestions, I do hope you'll keep stopping by to find the nuggets that work for you and those you love.  As you find ideas of value, please share this page with others.

Happy Birthday, Bob!

May 24, 2012, was Bob Dylan’s 71st birthday.  On May 29, Dylan was awarded the Medal of Freedom – the nation’s highest civilian award.

Those who know me well know that Dylan has played a significant role in my life over the past 30 years.  While I’m a fan, I’m not without integrity when it comes to evaluating his music.

Bob Dylan - ChristmasSo when I read “Hark! The Heralded Dylan Sings” (click on the title to read the article) I couldn’t help but laugh at portions, while not agreeing with all of the examples or the overall conclusion.  I must admit that Dylan’s recent Christmas album is painful to the ears (and that from someone who likes his voice).

Anyway, Bob, we’ll never meet on this earth, but I wish you “Happy Birthday” and many more creative moments captured in song.
