About this Theme

The first version of this theme back in January 2008 was inspired by the great magazine style themes of Brian Gardner and Darren Hoyt. I took those elements that I liked the most in every theme and combined them together in one single theme. The different page templates are inspired by Brian Gardners "Revolution" theme, other elements are taken from "Mimbo" by Darren Hoyt. The Tabbed section is created by using jQuery ui.tabs by Klaus Hartl (stilbuero.de). Meanwihle the theme walked through a lot of development and got its own individual face and functions.

The Name of the theme was inspired by the famous American jazz sax-player, Branford Marsalis. Although I´m German, I decided to present this theme in english in order to make it available for a greater audience.

On running days, Dave packs his lunch which he says does three things: 1) It helps him save money. Rather than spending ten dollars at a deli 2) His lunches are healthier than restaurant fare; and, 3) Eating from his desk allows him the time he needs on the YMCA treadmill. “My sack lunch is a time saver, a money saver and a life saver,” said Dave.

I am a divorced man now I am a divorced man now

I didn’t intend to write a single blog post about my divorce. But during the most tumultuous period of my life, I got a lot of solace reading other people’s thoughts and views regarding their divorce experiences. It was genuinely helpful. To say divorce is an isolating experience is an understatement, but when other people dared to

I have a lot of cool stories. Most of them include rock and roll. As I venture further away from when I was a professional musician, it is harder to sell the stories as legitimate memories.
