Well, Red Sox Nation has been biting its collective fingernails for over a month now. The huge lead the Sox held over the Yankees (14.5 games) had dwindled down to 1.5 and stood at only 2.0 before the beginning of last night’s game. It was beginning to look like a typical Red Sox end-of-season [...]

When I was a teenager, I felt that I made my fair share of MacGyver-esque moves. I could do a complete carburetor replacement on the side of the street using duct tape (in-a-pinch gasket replacement) and pencils (for the vacuum lines, of course). I circumvented the security on my high-school’s teletype machine using a [...] For all sports-o-phobics out there, this is really an article about management . . . it’s likely to be a controversial one at that. Even as a die-hard Red Sox fan, I can’t deny the fact that the New York Yankees are likely the greatest sports franchise of all time, at least as measured [...]
Recently, very good friends invited us to a dinner at their home that was catered by Walter Scheib. Scheib was the chef at the White House for both Clinton administrations and the first G.W.

I wasn’t even gonna bring this up, but I’ve been barraged by emails (barrage may be a wee bit of an exaggeration, but you get the idea, right?) taunting me to say something about it. What? Am I the only opinionated Patriots fan in the blogosphere? So, caving into all [...] For a good part of the last couple of months, most of the time I’ve spent in front a computer has been used to explore the current world of software development. Developing software is how I started my career, and is something which I always had a total blast doing – in an obsessive-compulsive, [...] When I was a kid, my dad introduced me to tennis. He took me to see Rod Laver and Ken Rosewall, the best players of the time. In his day and for quite some time after, Laver was considered the greatest to have ever played the sport with Rosewall a close runner up. Later, I [...] A virtual cornucopia of televised sports was on display today and I was enjoying every minute of it. After riding a half-century (50 miles) yesterday in blistering heat here in the Boston area, I was happy to kick back today and veg in front of the tube. My laziness was rewarded with great football and [...] |
