Ski Jumping

Monday, February 22, 2010

How can skiing down a steep hill, launching into the air, and flying hundreds of feet be boring to watch?  Yet it is.  Thanks to ski jumping I’ve caught up on my email, looked at Josh’s pictures on Facebook from his deployment to Honduras, ordered office supplies and a new computer for Judy from Staples, [...]

‘Aints No More

Monday, February 8, 2010

We love underdogs, and N.E. Patriots fans love just about any team that beats the Colts, so the Saints Super Bowl victory is sweet.  After many years of boring blowouts most recent Super Bowls have been just fun to watch.  The Colts looked unstoppable early but three plays and a spirited final defensive stand sent [...]

Fun at Fenway

Sunday, April 26, 2009

Yesterday’s Red Sox-Yankees game may have been the most entertaining baseball game I’ve seen live.  Not the best baseball, but the most over-the-top baseball show.  The 4 hour 21 minute long game featured six lead changes, 28 hits, 15 walks, 16 runners left on base (12 by NY), 6 home runs, 7 Yankee and [...]

She Got Game

Monday, February 9, 2009

I love this story.  Varsity basketball player Bilqis Abdul-Qaadir is a devout Muslim, the top-ranked student in her senior class, a 5 foot 3 inch high school senior, and the top high school scorer in Massachusetts state history. With her legs and arms covered and a hajib covering her head Bilqis “dazzles every night with [...]
