In my contribution this month over at The Blog of Funny Names, I look at the life and times of hockey goalie Gump Worsley, a piece of work if ever there was one. Drop the puck! That means something in certain sections of our world. It’s a phase that rolls off the tongue of English-speaking…
If ever a man was born to play on a certain sports team, it is Steven Jakob Matz. When the New York Mets take the field tonight in Queens, N.Y., hosting game four of the National League Division Series against the Los Angeles Dodgers, the 24-year-old rookie left-hander will be on the pitching mound.

It’s my monthly turn on the wheel of writers with sharp oberservational eyes over at The Blog of Funny Names. I’m speaking of King Dave, and Arto, and Kerbey, and Fannie, and Liz, and Mark. Not myself. Over there, I’m the Other Mark, the Markie come lately, the newest scribe on the block. Here’s how…
Why did I write about Neil Leslie Diamond for my end-of-March entry for the Blog of Funny Names? Well, Leslie as a middle name qualifies him. Kind of. And because … You can start reading my take on the singer, songwriter and guitarist here and then click below to make your way over to that…
The world lost a man last week whose passing was marked with sad and loving words by space freaks and TV/movie geeks of several generations. And today the Blog of Funny Names must bow its head to the legend of Leonard Nimoy, a man who through the wonderful mind of Gene Roddenberry and TV cameras…
