So long to Mr. Pizza! Pizza!

Little Caesars

Owner of the Detroit Red Wings and Tigers and Little Caesars founder Mike Ilitch passed away this week at the age of 87. Little  Caesars is the pizza joint known best for their double pizza pie offers that went by the slogan, "Pizza, Pizza!"

For Ilitch's final resting place, he will receive a special gravesite that will be known as "Headstone! Headstone!" Hey, two is better than one - what a deal.

Too soon? Well, Ilitch led a successful, productive life. We should all be so lucky. To be honest, Ilitch will need two headstones with his many accomplishments.


Senate TV


Congratulations to US Senator Jefferson Beauregard Sessions for his confirmation as US Attorney General. Sessions follows in the footsteps of former US Attorney General John Ashcroft who served under President George W. Bush. Ashcroft served in the US Senate representing the state of Missouri. The difference between these two fellas is that Sessions has to deal with a lot of Southern stereotypes. Not only is Sessions from Alabama, but he has pro-Confederate first and middle names. Many assume that Sessions is into NASCAR. That would be incorrect. Sessions most likely enjoys hanging on out front porches, sipping sweet, reminiscing about warm breezes, colorful drapes and hoop skirts with US Senator Lindsey Graham of South Carolina.

Take time out for Virginia’s Shenandoah region

-
About 30 years ago my family made a classic 1970s trek to Washington, D.C. Even though the sights and sounds of D.C. left an impression on me, it was the trip through Virginia’s Shenandoah Valley that introduced me to the region’s natural beauty. Dressed in our blue “Virginia Is For Lovers” T-shirts (which I kept for several years after), we rolled down the windows of our spacious Oldsmobile to take in the scenery.

Flashback: Billy Joel's Sax Player (Mark Rivera profile-March 2007)

-
It is 2:30 in the afternoon at Midtown Atlanta's Four Seasons Hotel and Mark Rivera is pacing his hotel suite bursting with ideas. The task of keeping up with Rivera's thoughts is daunting to say the least. The words explode from him like a Fourth of July fireworks show on steroids. From stories of working with John Lennon, Ringo Starr, Peter Gabriel and most notably -- becoming Billy Joel's ever-conspicuous sax player/backup vocalist, Rivera is on a big, white, puffy cloud every time he conjures up those legendary memories. Who wouldn't be? The challenge for Rivera on this balmy late-February afternoon is to fit those anecdotes and personal thoughts on the future and state of the world into a half-hour conversation which must conclude before he boards a bus to Birmingham for his role in that evening's Billy Joel show. Indeed Rivera will be back in his Atlanta hotel room in about 48 hours, but there will be no time for follow-up questions. He will be handling
