Scenes From My Bulletin Board

One of the last NFL assignments I handled for The Cincinnati Post, back in the day when there was a Cincinnati Post, was what was supposed to be the final game in Cleveland of the city’s beloved Browns.

Parenthood

When I was much younger, living a life much, much different than this one, the thought of having kids, of being a father, was completely laughable to me. I grew up in a family with seven kids.

Know what you don’t know

I bought a new laptop. It has a keyboard. And a screen. It has a bunch of “ports,” which is a fancy laptop-type word for a place to plug things into. It has a good battery so you don’t have to, you know, always plug a plug into a port. After the laptop love of… Read More Know what you don’t know
