Why I love Sheila (David)
We all come to this blog because we love this woman. I’ve known her for 20 years now and I was reading this book on writing by an author I adore, Anne LaMott, and this paragraph leapt off the page … Continue reading
I Believe (David)
When I want to write about the Red Sox I go and read Bill Simmons latest article and I realize it’s futile. He lets me know what I am thinking and feeling. He’s it. His latest article, “Why Not Us?” … Continue reading
Keep the Faith (This is David, not Sheila)
I wish to God I had posted this when I returned from my family trip to Disney on Sunday night. It would have been more profound had I done that, but I was just too overwhelmed with my reentry into … Continue reading

This can either turn out to be prophetic or pathetic, but I believe this evening’s baseball game between the Red Sox and Yankees could prove to be the turning point so desperately needed by Boston. Led by their captain, Jason … Continue reading
HA! (David)
I visited the site today and I’m laughing my ass off! How pathetic I was! I can’t even find my posts from last week they’re so far down the scroll. I struggled to get one post up a day and … Continue reading

I’m continuing on yesterday’s topic because I think it’s fascinating. Why do compulsions/addictions work? DBW said in his comments yesterday “most compulsions are the result of an effort to fill a vague, or not so vague, emptiness–a hole in the … Continue reading
Addictions (David)
Addiction. What is it? I’m sick of the word. It’s never really been defined for me anyway. Like the color blue. Define it. Why is it blue? Does calling it blue make it blue? I don’t know. I’m in a … Continue reading Continue reading
The All-Star game and other stuff (David)
I tried this year. I really tried, but I just can’t seem to sit through an entire all-star game. I love baseball and I know that this year, like last year, it counts. But I couldn’t do it. It bores … Continue reading
An ode to Sheila (David)
When I first met Sheila I was a freshman in college and she was a senior in High School. I had heard about her before I met her but the first time I saw her was when she was on … Continue reading Continue reading
