You’re too old. Too out of touch. Too set in your ways. Too everything.
And that’s exactly what I was telling myself yesterday as my body refused to recover from Bonnaroo. I used to stay up deep into the night effortlessly. I handled the heat of summer. I drank and toked without (more…)

These are the last days of Virgin Megastore. On Friday I walked through their Union Square 50,000 square foot location. The place had been slashed to a single floor – everything was for sale from the cash registers to the lights. The downstairs was already a construction zone. The loud clang of shelves being dismantled competed (more…)
Dropping like flies...April 5, 2009
Each day I drive through town it seems as if another business has shuttered its doors. Last month the Cadillac/Pontiac dealership closed – it had occupied a choice parcel of land on the Post Road in Westport for over thirty years.
Several restaurants have bitten the dust, even the corner newsagent where I bought (more…) Another big Philly win....January 11, 2009
Never would have believed it on Sunday afternoon of the last day of the season...

Haven't seen a lot of films this year, but this one really knocked me out -- loved it --
Great music too! For those that only know Anne Hathaway from the Prada film, don't pass judgment, she was amazing in this.... It's this year's 'Once;' it won't do those numbers, but it's very satisfying. Phillies versus MetsNovember 2, 2008
If you believe NY sports radio, all the Phillies did was trash talk the Mets after their victory, which was far from the truth -- a few comments were made, off hand remarks -- no big deal -- and yet...
The bottom line New York fans is this -- both the Mets and Yankees think it's their right (more…) World ChampsOctober 30, 2008
The Philadelphia Phillies, the gold standard of baseball -- it's hard to believe...
I've waited 28 years for this... Classic -- a two day game. To be honest, I was nervous down to the last pitch. And the Philly fan, amidst the biggest thrill in this city in three decades, when Bud Selig came out to award (more…) |
