Even with these long summer days, the stars are still shining brightly. Our newest heroes, the US women’s soccer team, made the TV rounds, and those other “damn Yankees” from New York started a true double play with 3,000 hit shortstop Derek Jeter making a perfect star-studded toss to teammate and now home-run hitting king […]

And a good morning to you, my faithful reader(s). A quick shout out to myself on this hot and humid morning: the AJC today wrote about former Mayor Shirley Franklin’s amazing blog post supporting the infamous Beverly Hall and said Franklin was “way off target”. Your earnest blogger had it for you first last Wednesday […]

Obviously, I have issues. Up early before the newspaper delivery man, preparing for a practice round ahead of my debut next week at the British Open. Paired with Rory and Phil, I plan on playing a ball control offense keeping that poor excuse for a golf course from gobbling up excessive strokes on my nickel. […]

Saturday morning before 7am has got be one of the quietest times of the week. Curious to find out who won the rain-delayed Braves-Phillies game, I am up at the crack of dawn, armed with papers and coffee, ready to get into the blogging game. Put me in coach… All my early morning positive vibes […]

This self imposed austerity program is no fun, and I can sympathize with our DC leaders as they wrestle how to put government spending on a similar reduction program. It can make you moody and it’s hot, and when […]

Shooting for the sky with the final space shuttle launch and a new budget deal top this morning’s national headlines, but here in my kitchen I have newly painted walls and a lingering smell to sip my coffee with the door open trying to get some air to move but this humid morning refuses to […]

This blogging thing takes too much time so here is Bob’s new five minute blog. Yes, just write as fast as you can about the events of the day and see what happens. So, on your mark…. First observation: LaGuardia airport is a dump. An embarrassment. Traveling on the B concourse of the main terminal […]

In the news the past few days, two incidents have caught this less than consistent blogger’s attention. They represent actions that on the surface don’t make sense, for the individual or groups involved, but come back to deeper human qualities that perhaps drive all of us. Wednesday night, riding an 11 out of 12 game […]

My oldest child turned 20 this weekend and was initiated into a fraternity, all tangible mile markers on the road to adulthood. Back home, my daughter played a dancing, flipping and bopping “Pink Lady” in “Grease”, another impressive four-show Galloway Theatre Company musical. Earlier in the week, my little boy set a new middle school […]

Ah, what a Masters and official start of spring. Living up to its hype and at times, over the top self-indulgence, players from around the world put on a show to remember, even as the pressure, heat and pollen became too much for the diminutive, fair-skin 21-year old Rory McElroy, who lead the field in […]
