    I’m not sure who originally put a curse on my hometown NBA team (that would be the Washington Wizards), but it goes back to the previous century and has withstood every reverse hex I’ve ever tried. The thing I always … Continue reading →

    The most talked about episode of Politics After Dark aired on November 8, 2005. My guest that night was one Joseph P. Sullivan, City Council candidate in Binghamton’s Fourth Ward. We didn’t talk about politics. I asked Joe a series of … Continue reading →

    You know the old expression about it’s not being whether you won or lost but how you played the game? This morning for me it’s not who won or lost any election but… now there’s no more stupid political ads. … Continue reading →

    Reply

    Nobody’s denying this year’s World Series was one of the greatest of all time. Close games, extra inning games, back-and-forth games, heroic performances, and one surprise after another. I’m happy to say I was at least 60-40 pleased with the … Continue reading →

    Yesterday we celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of one of my idols… Johnny Carson. This is one of the many topics that Franklin and I do not discuss on this week’s episode of Math and Musings. We do, however, discuss … Continue reading →
