As a guy, I am a bit unusual. At least for a straight guy. You see, I like musicals. I always have, ever since Mary Poppins sang “A Spoon Full of Sugar” and Dick Van Dyke danced with animated penguins on the big screen at the Roxy Theater in Renton. I love...

Throughout the workday, Facebook hums along in the background. It’s my virtual water cooler, where all my friends gather to discuss… well, sometimes nothing much at all. More often than not, they post little pieces of art that have some supposedly deep...

My son was recently thinking about sports. I guess this isn’t unusual for many teenagers but it certainly is for anyone with the last name Zerr. We aren’t, now how should I say it, exactly sporty. At best we were all mediocre in sports, except for my...

I love cheeseburgers. I never seem to get tired of them. In fact, I could have one or two every day and be a very happy man. I had five cheeseburgers in a day once, even. I know, that seems a bit excessive, but I was young and didn’t really know my limitations....

My friends have been having a terrible time keeping track of me as of late. I seem to be everywhere and nowhere at the same time. My friends in Florida think I’m still there, while my Washington friends are both delighted and mystified that I am back in Seattle...

I am not a bird lover. There, I said it. I should clarify that I am not totally anti-bird. I love birds that are out in the wild. Daily I see pelicans fly by my window here in the big treehouse on the beach and marvel at these goofy prehistoric creatures who can float...

I have written here several times about my trials and tribulations regarding my success, or should I say, lack of success, with cheerleaders. Some of my readers have written since to let me know that perhaps I was just out of their league. Perhaps that is true. But I...

I decided to hit the sack a little early last night. It had been a long day and this bicoastal life can play havoc with your internal clock where you pop up at 4 a.m. and there’s nothing to do, but by the time there is something to do, around 7 p.m.-ish,...

When I was growing up, we had tons of squirrels in the yard. I never cared for them, for they ate all the hazelnuts in the trees that bordered the wooded part of the yard. They would flit from one branch to another all day long, sucking down the hazelnuts. We...

I admit it. I am temperature challenged. I can’t ever seem to get the temperature right. Like Goldilocks and her porridge, it’s always a case of too cold or too hot, and never right. When I lived in Seattle, I thought I had it right. That’s not to...
