Last week the rush hour train filled with Yankee fans after a day game at the Stadium. The trains nowadays are pretty crowded, but this one was standing room from engine to caboose. A couple decked out in Yankee regalia sat next to me. I asked who’d won – the Red Sox, but it (more…)

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…)

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…)

Never would have believed it on Sunday afternoon of the last day of the season...

I'm hearing a lot of Giant fans saying, we just had a bad game -- look folks -- we beat the Giants twice within in a month, both in Giants Stadium.

George also knew how very much we all loved him (more…)

Look after the Phillies this year, anything is possible, but I still was going there with the Eagles...

I was so disgusted after last week's loss at Washington that I didn't allow myself to entertain even for a moment, the Eagles playoff chance...

And yet, somehow, by the one o'clock games, I knew who (more…)

I was nervous right up until the end...
But in the end, America knew what needed to be done.
We've got the country back!

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.

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…)
