When I was nine years old, I began paying attention to baseball.
It was the 1968 World series, one of the most thrilling ever. Detroit and St. Louis played a nip-and-tuck seven games, with Bob Gibson and Denny McClain dominating things. The Tigers beat a tired G... continue reading...

Well, it's my last day of the week to work, and like I do so often, today's FamilyFirst site is a bit on the funky side. You see, I wanted to make it another sports pick.

While the Winter Olympics was on, I found myself thoroughly hooked on watching a sport I really hadn't paid much attention to in the past: curling.

In this scandal-plagued world of sports, where such outrages as blood doping, amphetamines, steroids (Barry Bonds needs an asterisk), the Yankees/Red Sox/whoever has the most money buying up the talent of less wealthy teams, and just good old cheating in general, it's refreshing to find a... continue reading...

From 1994 to 1998, I produced a self-syndicated column called Broken English that appeared in a few regional pool magazines (and one national). While I've only been a fair-to-middlin' pool player over the years, I still loved writing about the game, its history, and its strategy.
