In America, football comes in many sizes, as shown in this Syracuse, N.Y., Dick’s Sporting Goods store. It seems like every man, woman and child in America watches the Super Bowl, no? The championship game for the National Football League has become a national holiday. Edition XLVIII, as the NFL…
A Super Bowl primer for people of many lands. I first posted this on Monday. Then I thought: Let’s give folks who want to join in the big Super Bowl spectacle on Sunday but aren’t quite up on the nuances another shot at my attempt to enlighten.
Even for a last-place team, the ultimate can happen anytime on the bowling lanes. Last night, our sub bowler, Ron Fox Jr., rolled a perfect 300 in the second game of three. Way to go, Ron. It was exciting, watching his powerful ball knock down all 10 pins, 12 throws in a row. All the…
Love can bloom in strange places. Hollywood tries to prove that again and again with the two major film openings this weekend. “Labor Day” pairs Josh Brolin and Kate Winslet as a mystery man and reclusive mom who just may end up joining together to conquer both of their dilemmas, if the trailer is a…
You may have seen my story here about taking the big boat from Baltimore to Bermuda and back. My dear wife Karen has made a cruise ship regular out of me. And yet I just finished reading “Pirate Alley,” the latest novel by Stephen Coonts. If the title isn’t self-explanatory enough for you, take a…
Somebody you don’t know addresses you on the street. They ask for money. You must make a decision. It’s an issue that will not go away, a cultural sign of our economy and so much more. Recently in downtown Syracuse, N.Y., my walking journey was interrupted by a request that threw me off my stride.…
Over my two decades covering music for the big daily in Syracuse, I got the opportunity to talk with a whole lot of interesting people. One morning, I talked to Pete Seeger on the phone. He agreed to the interview because he would be coming that little stretch north and west to Central New York…
Watching the 56th edition of the Grammy Awards unfold across my flat screen on Sunday night, I couldn’t help but be struck again about music’s relationship with time. Put a great song on a record, or on tape, or in the digital world, and time stands still, forever thereafter. In one hour, in January, 2014,…
‘I, Frankenstein’ starts with the monster roaming the land 200 years ago, taking care of business, settling scores. It was kind of comforting to think it was so far in the past. But somehow, Adam Frankenstein surfaces in the present. Now that’s a scary thought. The man-made monster meets gargoyles and demons and finds himself…
It seems like every man, woman and child in America watches the Super Bowl, no? The championship game for the National Football League has become a national holiday. Edition XLVIII, as the NFL has come to list each game, features the Denver Broncos vs. the Seattle Seahawks this Sunday, in MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford,…
