Monday, February 17 Jeffrey Siegel’s Keyboard Conversations: Mistresses and MasterpiecesBehind every grand piano arrangement is a grand woman — we think the saying goes.

No one said that being a teenager was easy. Our youth face a variety of issues like low self-esteem and depression, as well as modern-day ills like cyberbullying and internet addictions. It’s also a time in life when we try to figure out who we are, which can mean coming…

Ask someone (a man for example) to define a typical feminist, and they might describe a hairy, angry, man-hating shrew. Then ask that same person to outline a typical pro-lifer, and they’ll probably characterize them as a zealot who cares more about fetuses than women. Now meet Dallas native and…

We’ve got just a little over a week until Valentine’s Day. If you’re taken, then you definitely have plans in mind (or at least that’s the lie you told your partner). If you’re single, that’s great too, but just because you’re alone doesn’t mean you have to be lonely. It’s…
If you stay here long enough, you’ll start to hear it. “Dallas is great, but,” followed by a lengthy explanation of how we don’t have any nature — where nature means mountains or a beach. It’s one of the most common refrains around these parts. And it’s true, we don’t…
In 2015, the lives of Chris and Christina Haslage changed the moment a friend forgot where he had parked his car. While it’s a relatable mishap for many, the couple from Ohio said the level of confusion in their friend was uncharacteristic. Worse, it sparked an all-too-familiar feeling of dread…
When I saw the first promo for 9-1-1: Lone Star, aka the latest milestone in Ryan Murphy’s world domination, I had questions. Why is Rob Lowe still relevant? Who thought he could play a believable firefighter? Has Ryan Murphy ever seen any Rob Lowe movies? But then I decided to…

Though Dallas is distinctly Texan (and proud of it), its fast-paced city atmosphere often overpowers its simpler Texan roots. But outside the city center, many North Texas suburbs have held onto their historic downtowns and haven’t let them lose their magic. Each one has a little something for everyone: They…
“There are three things that I need each day,” Matthew McConaughey told an eager audience at the Dolby Theater in 2014. “One, I need something to look up to, another to look forward to, and another is someone to chase.” It was a surprisingly tender moment for the Texas native,…

In a few months, a bunch of testosterone-loving men will host a convention in Florida aimed at teaching women how to be great –– great wives, great mothers and great sexual objects. It’s called The 22 Convention: Make Women Great Again, and we can’t quite wrap our minds around it…

The new KidZania complex is the kind of interactive entertainment that made me wish I wasn’t born in the 1980s. Sure, we had cool places like ShowBiz Pizza, Putt-Putt Golf and Photon, and we annoyed our parents until they lost their will to fight and agreed to take us there…
