I feel very lucky that I grew up watching M*A*S*H almost as it happened. My family had an almost obsession with the show. In fact, I have almost every episode in my basement – on video tape from back in the early 1980s when we first got a VCR and would cue the thing up […]
When I posted something on Facebook last week about the new sports betting law in Delaware, one friend replied, “regulardegenerategambler.com.” The post cracked me up for a couple of reasons. First off, I knew I had kind of belabored the point on the topic. Secondly, nothing could be further from the truth despite my constant […]
One of my biggest problems is that I don’t always learn from my mistakes. Generally this doesn’t affect anyone else, but I inconvenienced the rest of my family on Labor Day when we decided to go out for lunch. Holiday weekend really provide ample opportunity to do whatever you please. We had already put together […]
In a couple of months, I have to the west coast travel for work. Sadly, it’s not Vegas. This will require some fairly long plane rides. I need entertainment. I will have my iPod and some reading material, but I want to take this chance to explore a new television series on DVD. I figure […]
Like so many other people, I remember the particulars of 9/11 very clearly. I remember hearing on the radio – I was streaming the BBC at work – about a commuter plane crashing. I remember an old boss talking about how we had to find experts (it was my first PR job) to go on […]
I generally don’t get political here, but I ran a cross a great story about a program at the University of Washington’s medical school. A friend works there and passed the link on to me. In short, students have the opportunity to intern for a month in a rural or underserved area between their first […]
Each summer, I get excited for the newest version of EA Sports’ college football video game series. I look forward to taking control of a new school and trying to win it a national championship. I succeeded in NCAA09 with Kent State, just a few months before NCAA10 came out. So I sat patiently and […]
That noise you heard yesterday was the anticipation of sports betting in Delaware being sucked out of everyone who intended on visiting the first state to gamble on the NFL or March Madness. The Third U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals formally announced their decision to deny the state’s original plan yesterday. Delaware can only offer […]
I have no doubt that Joshua Braff is a very talented writer. After all, he has a novel out and has appeared in at least one literary magazine. After reading “The Unthinkable Thoughts of Jacob Green,” I can only come to one conclusion about the 2004 book. He’s very lucky to have a famous brother. […]
Three people in Philadelphia will decide the fate of the free world today. Or they will decide whether Delaware can accept single-game bets on professional and college sports. To me, the situations are equal. A panel from the 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals will rule on a request by the major pro sports leagues and […]
