It was Thor, the God of Thunder and Marvel goodness one and opening day at the Watertown Wizards zippo. Our company included a former high school pitcher who was able to explain whallops of stuff I was not picking up. My Mets t-shirt itself triggered two conversations with other and …

I am being whisked away after work to a Gen X at 40 authorized event, the first game of the Watertown Wizards 2007 season. Should be fun as it is supposed to be stinking hot and, at a buck a ticket for kids, a great deal.  •  The G8 summit is wrapping up and I am worried again about Russian …

I've told you before how much I like going to Chicky's in Portland, Maine but sadly Chicky's is no more. My buddy Tom, who played the piano at this dear departed joint, sent an email about a benefit that is being held for the staff who have been left high and dry by the sudden absence of the …

To be fair, tomorrow's game will see Halliday on the mound so a Bosox loss would not be a fraud upon the gods but I will still root for the last knuckleballer and eat a hot dog and so will the …

The shift from snow to having a lawn to mow is startling. I may already be behind.  •  Update: Scots election chaos.  •  Please note two key differences between me and Mike.  •  I decided this May Day would be the day we should thank a great unheralded socialist of the past. The socialist dream we …

I have not put my mind to the question of whether the passing of my cat is related to the pet food poisoning matter. The one ate from the same dish and the late Frobie had symptoms for years. Yet, now learning more as we are about what has been going on, it would not be hard to wonder:  •  “As …
