Aftermath of “The Crash” – Boston Sports Will Survive

In my 32 years, I’ve seen a lot of highs and lows in Boston sports, but this September might have been as low as it got. With a 9-game lead in the Wild Card standings on September 3rd, the Sox looked like they were destined for the playoffs and an eventual showdown with the EvilContinue Reading

Septembeard Progress Report – Week 4

Week 4 is upon us and so is a bushy looking beard! The wife is bugging me to trim up a bit (she loves the beard though), however I plan on holding strong until the month is out! And, really, how can she argue with the reasoning? I’m closing in on the end of thisContinue Reading

How To Make Great Guacamole

Taste buds are a funny, funny thing. When I was young – and when I say young, I really mean up until probably three years ago – I wouldn’t eat anything that didn’t fit into the meat, potato, grain or pasta categories.  Vegetables, for the most part, were a big no-no for me and fruitsContinue Reading
