Happy Birthday, Fenway!
If you are in the stands behind home plate, you are actually 6 feet closer to the batter than the pitcher is. Great ballpark! Be sure to visit the Boston Globe's slideshow of pictures of iconic moments from the past century. Oddly, no pictures of Bucky F. Dent or Bill Buckner. And this afternoon, the Red Soz play the Yankess … Read More

Oops
A news crew in Germany went to the zoo to report about a rare earless bunny that was captivating the crowds and on its way to becoming a little earless celebrity. But the cameraman accidentally stepped on it and killed it. Journalism 101: you're not supposed to become part of the story.
Busy, Busy….
Show rehearsals, CLE seminars… it's all too much. I missed blogging about the Super Bowl. I missed the Trump endorsement.

Michelle Obama. And Betty White. And James Earl Jones. And Muhammad Ali. And Benjamin Franklin.
Talking A Little Football

I'm sure that is what Jesus had in mind when they hammed spikes through his palms on the cross: not the famines, war, and disease which, every day, kill the faithful all over the … Read More
Want Some Good Blog Reading?
Jon Swift was a blogger from a few years ago who may have been one of the best bloggers ever. His satiric writing is legendary, like that of his namesake. Unfortunately, Jon Swift (aka Al Weisel) died suddenly in February 2010. One of Swift's pet projects was a year-end Blogger Round Up. Al/Jon asked bloggers far and wide, famous and in- … Read More
Back At Blogging
