I very comfortably sit in the camp that holiday music on the airwaves beginning on Thanksgiving Day is a Martha Stewart-style Good Thing. All of the kitcshy pieces of holiday spirit may, to some, seem commercial and not the point, but to many, they’re just a conduit to the real merry. I was at [...]

Sometimes the best things that happen to you are accidents, which is why we say “happy accident” when talking of coincidences or other fortuitous events. Tonight was a fortuitous event for a number of people at the Pfister Hotel. Its now traditional tree lighting ceremony began, for me anyway, in a crowded elevator where one [...]

* Note: At the Pfister, we typically do not disclose the identity of entertainers who stay at the hotel. In this case, we’ve received express permission to do so. There are many memories I have of my dad that keep me close to him. Lonesome Dove, the character-driven cowboy novel I read at my dad’s [...]

I used to be a morning person, emphasis on past tense. But, rumor has it, I can have breakfast with Herb Kohl if I’m up early and at the Pfister Café. In a Herculean effort, I made it there early and was rewarded with coffee but no Kohl. I have to say, that I thought [...]
