In 2004, actor Zach Braff—a friend since …

His name was Shawn Mullins and his brooding, lyrically-thoughtful style stood out, harken…

In 1994, I moved to New Orleans, where I lived until 1998. I loved my time there and still love the city today. Life in NOLA is hard to explain to those who’ve never been, or maybe only spent time partying in the French Quarter. It’s unique in so many ways, and as my children grew up, we tried to expose them to it as often as we could. Unlike most …
