Yet more for my reading list…
Ellen Langer is a psychology professor at Harvard. I must read this woman’s books! “In 1979, Langer and her students invited two groups of eight men in their late 70s and early 80s to go on a retreat for a week and spend time reminiscing about life 20 years earlier. “When they first showed up [...]

Random thought #1: I was as impressed as anybody during the regular season, and I was rooting for the Pats to win because the Giants bore the crap out me. But now that the Super Bowl is over, can we dispense with the idea that this year’s Pats team was the best ever? If the [...]

Audio version is here. Text:America took another step towards “grandpa-ocracy” today, as Arizona Senator John McCain announced his Presidential candidacy. Speaking in New Hampshire, he said that America was fighting “a global struggle with violent extremists.” And that’s just the Bush Administration.

Podcast now available! After discovering that many of their stadiums do not come up to code, Italian soccer officials have announced that several upcoming games will be played in front of no spectators.

…but I have faith that it will be fixed eventually, so here I am with some random thoughts: 1) I celebrated the Cardinals’ victory in the World Series with a bottle of Veuve-Clicquot. The trick to not becoming a lush is to cultivate sufficiently expensive tastes. 2) I celebrated Halloween at The Aero, a theater [...]

Monday, October 2, 2006
After years of suffering through offenses that call to mind the phrase “spastic colon,” Rex Grossman is literally healing me.

In celebration of the beginning of the NFL season, I present this devastating hit dealt by Chicago Bears LB Wilber Marshall. Frankly, I remember this sort of thing happening regularly between 1984-86. It was fun to be a Bears fan then, lemme tell you. The Bears are playing the Lions this weekend, but you won’t [...]

Monday, February 24, 2003
After ten years of being a temp, I love watching office drones get pancaked by a football player. Doesn’t make me want to buy those sneakers, but I won’t tell them if you won’t.

The Oakland Journal is apologizing after printing a headline that read “Pistons rain 3′nigs on.” By the way, I don’t know if anybody watched Monday Night Football last night, but the Raiders beat the Broncos 34 to nigs.

For 30 years, Ravin fans wondered: What if Tom Larkin had survived? Now, the story can be told.
Mixing alternative history, hardboiled noir, parody and satire, Life After Death for Beginners is a must-read for every Beatles fan. "A cross between The Rutles and Three Days of the Condor. I loved it."—Jonathan Schwarz
