    Yesterday I turned 34 years old. It was a good day, of course, but let’s face it… when you have my life most days are good. I’m lucky to have so many wonderful friends and a terrific family and I’m … Continue reading →

    Like the passing of a head of state, the death of Muhammad Ali has sounded across the entire globe and focused the world’s attention on The Man as it has so many times before. As someone with a blog devoted … Continue reading →

    Finals are finally here

    It was a game for three quarters, then last night’s Game One matchup between the Warriors and the Cavs became about as interesting as the preempted episode of CNN’s The Eighties that was supposed to air last night. Seriously, they’re … Continue reading →

    Thank you, O Netflix

    With no hockey and no basketball last night I found myself in need of a little entertainment. Thankfully this is 2016 and there is this thing called Netflix. In its latest foray into media dominance Netflix has teamed with those … Continue reading →

    Memorial Day

    Reply

    Today, of course, is Memorial Day, and for the first time in many years I am not playing in a parade or otherwise going to work. No, I’m doing what most people are doing today: enjoying the day off and going to … Continue reading →

    I don’t “like” this

    Posted on May 27, 2016 by moc
    Reply

    Much has been made over Facebook’s supposed censoring of right-wing news and viewpoints, its supposed olive branch to conservatives, and backlash pro and con. I think we’re missing the bigger picture. There is, after all, a small part of the … Continue reading →

    Even a bad day watching sports…

    It’s far from a done deal, of course, but if the Cleveland Cavaliers don’t end up facing the Golden State Warriors in the NBA Finals I will be shocked. There will also be several suicides among executives at the TV … Continue reading →

    Cavs can’t be stopped

    Reply

    You heard it here first (see “It starts with the Cavs,” May 9, 2016). This is it: the Cleveland Cavs are shoo-ins for an NBA championship. The same town (henceforth known as “Believe-land”) that’s going to nominate Donald Trump on … Continue reading →
