BACK IN THE SADDLE

It's almost time for the first pitch

You know, I said to my wife a few weeks back, if we lived somewhere that had spring training going on, we would have been to a couple of ballgames by now.

Slow delivery has some benefits

News travels faster these days. Scandals are unveiled, reviled, and forgotten in the blink of an eye.

Deciphering accents isn't so easy

Let’s start by acknowledging that the Public Broadcasting Corporation is a wonderful thing.

LIfe brought friend right answers

College alumni magazines are supposed to make you feel nostalgic for the old alma mater and maybe shake loose a donation now and then.

California dream will have to wait

Maybe next time.

Concert was a priceless experience

How much is nostalgia worth? More than I can afford, apparently.

It's not so bad to be the 'old guy'

When you reach a certain age, you need to get accustomed to being teased now and then about reaching a certain age.

Truth is delicate, but it survives

Unlike Brian Williams, I am pretty sure I would remember whether or not I was in a helicopter that was shot down.

Answers lead to viral experience

Maybe this column should be headlined: “The things you can get into when you’re not really trying to get into things.”

Objects offer historical connection

The contents of the table keep me connected.

Harmless email can be deceiving

The email arrived back in May of last year and seemed harmless enough.

Gloomy weather brings up queries

The weather’s uninviting, the days are gloomy and the post-holiday questions pile up like calories from all those Christmas treats.

Plan for evening comes into focus

Right now, there is no plan. That’s not unusual at this point.

Anticipation will be less stressful

If Thanksgiving is all about gratitude, Christmas Eve is all about anticipation.

We’ll celebrate together, as family

It’s inevitable, I suppose, that we get a bit sentimental and reflective during the holidays.
