Brad Delp wasn't singing in falsetto. He hit those notes naturally. Boston was classic in the sense that, their first LP from start to finish, garnered airplay from AOR format radio stations. Golden age of rock, baby. Parties, radio, driving in the car, your buddy's apartment -- Boston was there. A...

Finley is a bit of a stretch. Perhaps you're joking?

Caminiti is perhaps the saddest PED's case in baseball history. He'll go in to the PED's Hall of Fame in the first year's class, along with Canseco and Lance Armstrong.

Sheffield is very "PED suspected". He openly described his said-to-be unwitting steroid use when living and training with Barry Bonds during part of one winter. That was a pretty short period of time. There's no evidence or even rumors I've heard that link him to PED's beyond that. I'd be...

1976. I was into blues, beebop and bluegrass. But then came the inescapable first album by Boston. Hook-filled tunes, Brad Delp's sweet lead and harmony vocals, and Tom Scholz's amazing guitar that was all about his multi-tracking and studio effects. The album was a big part of the soundtrack to tha...

The predictable Trump Hysteria doesn't mean much to me about the future of stock prices. But this is surely a sign of a top:

Fast and cheap from my point of view. Even some free exercise. Instead, you could easily have a hole in your roof, serious water damage in your house, and no power for several days.

I'm helping the third grader with a Black History month project. She has to write (fill out) a 6 page biography of 20s blues singer Bessie Smith. The project requires she draw a picture of the subject for all six pages. There are not that many pictures available of this particular early 20th centur...

1:30 brings out the former Globetrotter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EmmWcmwD5rA&feature=youtu.be It's impossible to truly compare players from different eras.

Of the non-banned and non-PEDS suspected players who are eligible but not in the HOF, here are the eleven, in rough order, who I think are most deserving. Who am I missing?

damn, didn't think Shaq would be the default, figured it would be Mourning. Adrian Dantley an outstanding answer. Dantley was a Piston. His game fascinated me. So right in my wheelhouse. I couldn't even say where most of the guys who were right answers played with post '79 expansion teams. I imagin...

Me, Trammel (Brian), and Blimp are stealing the ship tonight. We'll write when we find space work.

If -- and it's a dream -- Trump can actually down-size American military commitments overseas, this might stick for a long time. Time enough for a future government that is genuinely progressive -- another dream -- to utilize the savings to do good things in this country.

It's quite possible that on this, as on most things that seem outrageous, Trump is simply negotiating. If so, I like his general direction. Maintaining the Empire is expensive. I'd like to see more resources utilized in, say, Milwaukee and Oakland. In schools. In health care. In debt reduction. I'd ...

No matter how "smart, effortlessly athletic, competitive and driven" a ten-year old seems to be, this is 1) not the whole picture, 2) only partially true only in a specific set of circumstances, and 3) temporary. But very few parents will ever believe this. We're programmed otherwise. My a...

Diamond, it was almost a pleasure to watch the master at work. Almost. You know a lot of important stuff that somehow has escaped me so far in this life. Like the lyrics to an Adam Sandler song.

Why not just steal one?

Your new diagnosis may well be right. But my point was broader. The leak that you see at point X may be actually coming through from the outside of the roof system at point Y, which could be 10 feet away. Water can get through the first layer (shingles) and then travel through lower layers (e.g., ol...

Uh-oh. That looks like trouble coming our way. Not that I'm going to tell those useless two-legged pieces of trash.

DC47

Water is notorious for traveling unseen within a roofing system. The location of a leak inside a house (e.g., underside of plywood on top of joists) is often not the same as where the water actually is entering the system. I've applied gallons of sealant looking for the source of a roof leak. Seal, ...

A modern country duet classic. Always brings my thoughts back to when I lived in Mendocino. To my surprise, Bernie Taupin wrote the lyrics.

I don't know. It took a pretty strong team to get past the Lions tonight. Those were two mighty fine field goals. You don't see that every time out.

He pointed out the advances in gloves. In the old days, the receiver couldn't have one-handed a defender's mask like that.

This is a fine country song. Even in the conventional wing of this genre there are songwriters who can deliver the goods with punch and economy. And of course there are some musicians in Nashville who can play.

That is one great pop song. It's got a unique sound, and these guys play all the notes the way a strong prog rock band should.

Considered a one-hit wonder, they were actually one of the great unknown rock bands of the era.

How can it be that they don't own that record? I'm sure they own the one for fewest play-off wins per year.

Ambassador Howard surely get great seats from good friend Vlad. Make good talk about low-stamina loser Hillary.

Uh, no--he shoots her dead as soon as she is in range. DC's mood takes a negative hit as a result of having killed his sister, but this is offset by having attended a party recently. No big. I might have more sisters. Party? Eff that. People are extraneous to my purpose. They harsh my mellow. Might...
