I’ve completely redesigned my professional website, JohnMorogiello.com. I could no longer pretend that I looked like the 27 year old in the headshot. Explore. Let me know if you find any mistakes, or unnavigable sections.


Matchmaker’s Guide

Just in time to be too late for the holidays, I finally worked out all of the problems with the DVD of The Matchmaker’s Guide to Controlling the Elements. It is currently for sale here. At $10, it is the perfect gift for those you don’t want to spend too much money on, and don’t


Home Video

This is an old home video from 1995. My son, who was only 21 months old at the time, was obsessed with The Who. We listened to them and watched them every day. Sometimes he would sing along or drum to them, but more often than not he would “Do Pete.”

Comments problem?

Well, I think I fixed the problem Deirdre was having with my blog commentary. Anyone from the non-WordPress world care to reassure me by posting a comment?


Emily Bronte

This is the last of the scenes we’ll be posting from Irish Authors Held Hostage. Martin and I wanted to show off the wonderful talents of Lori Boyd. Enjoy. Watch for the show, perhaps, this summer at the Capital Fringe Festival.

Couldn’t resist this. It’s too funny. I apologize for Peggy Noonan’s language.
