On August 11, I was a guest on the amazing NPR program, "Only a Game," produced out of WBUR in Boston. Thanks to Karen Given for capturing the essence of the interview we did. Here's the link to the segment:
New Friends: Montreal Expos Alumni
To be honest, I simply didn't know what to expect when I received an invitation to join several alumni from the Montreal Expos baseball team in a charity bowling event in Cooperstown, New York. It's induction weekend, and Vladimir Guerrero is one of the inductees, and...

The Home Run Derby
It's a spectacle, the annual Home Run Derby, the bashing party that takes place annually on the day before the All-Star Game. Normally, I ignore the slugfest, marked by a bunch of guys who strike out a lot in their regular-season appearances but also hit a bunch of...

Today the Red Sox won against the Toronto Blue Jays in the 10th inning, thanks to a grand slam by shortstop Xander Bogaerts! Today, I also discovered an article from the Cooperstown Crier that I'd completely missed. Written by Greg Klein who attended my talk at the...
Trip Down Memory Lane
Clean out that junk drawer, she said. You can't even open the drawer without jamming it, she said. Okay, okay. This morning, I decided to clean out one of many junk drawers in my house. Yes, I have many, but this one is where I keep my mailing supplies--big rolls of...

Shameless Self-promotion?
I made a living for almost 40 years out of doing public relations, marketing and media relations for people in a number of organizations. Education. Not-for-profit health care. Government agencies. However, it's a whole new ballgame, this blowing my own horn, trying...
Super Bowl Hype
Yeah, yeah, most people are concerned with the Super Bowl tomorrow. Patriots vs. Eagles. Eagles vs. Patriots. Playing the cold--no, the EXTREME cold--of Minnesota. Have you SEEN those ticket prices? Can you imagine the good we could do if we spent money like that to...
