It appears Nora doesn’t like playing in the snow. I’ll give her a pass; she’s only one and enjoys warm things, like heat. I appreciate that. Before I started shoveling snow, I liked it, too. A lot, even. I used to push Lisa into the snow a lot. I think I shoved Mare and Michael [...]
It’s been quite a few months to be a fan of baseball, basketball and football. Where do you begin? Let’s begin with the much needed ‘coming clean’ of baseball. We’ve seen the shuck and jive from the likes of Palmero and now Clemens; the latter threw his friends, teammates and wife under the bus. Andy [...]
