Romancing the 70’s
I was flipping through the channels today and was mesmerized by Time Life’s Romancing the 70’s infomercial. 138 classics from the top easy listening artists of the decade all digitally remastered for superior audio quality. But wait! There’s more! If you call within 9 minutes, they throw in a bonus […]

Remembering Corey Dillon
What is it about being young? I saw my 9 years of age buddy today. I’ve known him since he was about 4. He loves the Red Sox, Celtics and even the New England Revolution. He plays hockey sometimes, too. He plays shortstop for his baseball team and let me […]

Does her hair hang long?
I’ve listened to this song about 73 times in a row. There is something about it that won’t let me go. The song was written by Bob Dylan and is performed here by Bruce Hornsby. Girl From The North Country Well, if you’re travelin’ in the north country fair, Where […]
Field of Dreams
I had a bit of a lonely start to college. I wasn’t used to living in the city and I missed my old friends. I really wanted to see a Red Sox game, but I didn’t have anyone to go with. So, I decided to go by myself. There were […]
