Tonight’s Menu: A Mixed Grill

It is the end of the workday, but not the end of my week.  I would love to be able to sleep in tomorrow, maybe fix a breakfast of pancakes and bacon, and go wherever thewind will take me.
But, sadly, so.   I’ll be up  way-too-early when the majority of the world is enjoying a relaxing [...]

Rockin’ All Over The World

Wanderlust is a wonderful thing.  It usually creeps up on me every 3-4 weeks, giving me another opportunity to dream.  It’s another possibility presented to me by Life.  I can tell when wanderlust is coming on.  I begin to think about places I’ve been or where I want to go.  It used to be I [...]

Drinks for the house!

I love playing golf.  More than that, I love playing golf well, which doesn’t happen often enough.  Last night, the planets were aligned and the stars predicted great things, because I shot a 43.
Yeah, what’s the big deal?
If I played more often, that would be a regular score, maybe lower.  But since I only play [...]

Dead Man Walking

Theo finally pulled the plug.  The Red Sox decided to cut their losses and release John Smoltz.
I want to set the record straight.  I am not down on John Smoltz.  He was one the best pitchers in the 90’s and will go to Cooperstown.  What I was not down on was the decision by the [...]

A pitcher, a pitcher, my kingdom for a pitcher

I have remained silent about the Red Sox this season, partly because I like to watch but don’t have cable. I’ll check the box scores in the paper, maybe read a little online.  How about radio, you ask?  As much as I enjoy listening to a ballgame on radio, it’s not at the front of my mind.  [...]

Mid-July and it’s the Open Championship!!

It’s one of my favorite times of the year.  I have a handful.  It starts in April, with the playing of The Masters.  Then the US Open on Father’s Day weekend. Finally, my absolute favorite:  the Open Championship.  Here in the colonies, it’s the British Open, but I prefer to call it by its proper [...]

Sorry, but Junior can’t come out and play right now.

One of the more exasporating affects of all this rain is my Wednesday night golf league matches are canceled.  That has been the case for the past four weeks.   Some people get cranky if they don’t have their morning coffee, some folks are unbearable without their daily chocolate fix.  Me, it’s golf.  Even though I don’t [...]

All is Right in Red Sox Nation

If a Red Sox fan needs a reason to rejoice, it would be any time the Yankees take the gas pipe and cough up a loss. First, let me say this: I do not hate the Yankees. My Dad is a Yankee fan. He grew up in northern Maine during the [...]

Red Sox reaction..are we slipping?

Growing up in New England and reading the Boston newspapers gave a unique insight into the sports psyche of the region.  Although we have a successful franchise, won a World Series (and loaded to win many others) and have a level of baseball that is lacking in many parts of the country, the paranoid vision [...]

Schilling taking some

Gee, Curt Schilling goes out with a bum shoulder, and the boo birds come out.  I do find it interesting that he’s been put on an unofficial gag order.  He initially comes out in public, disagreeing with managment’s decision to shelf him.  All of a sudden, he clams up. He did the same thing when he [...]
