None of the experts thought it possible for a dictator to fall so quickly in the Middle East. Why did it happen and how was it missed by so many? Simply put, the ballgame changed, and that meant the old rules didn’t apply. 5 million Egyptians were on Facebook, almost all (more…)

I liked their first CD -- but haven't dug anything they've done since --
For a guy that's all about the sound, I was shocked at how poor the sound was last night.
The vocals were way too hot -- you couldn't hear the band for the first two songs -- Slash's solo was (more…)

As flawed as he was, he was still a good friend of the United States
– Joe Biden in reference to Mubarak.

You’re too old. Too out of touch. Too set in your ways. Too everything.

These are the last days of Virgin Megastore. On Friday I walked through their Union Square 50,000 square foot location. The place had been slashed to a single floor – everything was for sale from the cash registers to the lights. The downstairs was already a construction zone.

Each day I drive through town it seems as if another business has shuttered its doors. Last month the Cadillac/Pontiac dealership closed – it had occupied a choice parcel of land on the Post Road in Westport for over thirty years.
Several restaurants have bitten the dust, even the corner newsagent where I bought (more…)

Never would have believed it on Sunday afternoon of the last day of the season...
I'm hearing a lot of Giant fans saying, we just had a bad game -- look folks -- we beat the Giants twice within in a month, both in Giants Stadium.
Nothing else needs saying on that note.

On Saturday night, December 27, 2009, a little before 11:00 George passed away surrounded by Sloan, Sam, Gabe and all of his family.
Although he never regained consciousness after Wednesday night, George knew that his family was with him and that he was deeply and infinitely loved.
