Say Hey, Willie… I can think of no better man who fits Tom Wolfe’s descriptor of A Man in Full than #24 of the NY and SF Giants. Willie’s joir de vivre, unique skills on the diamond, and larger-than-life presence impressed me in my Happy Days of yore. He was a rising star when this […]

AI Spellcheck Wait, wait… I didn’t use ChatGPT or Google’s BARD to “genAIrate” this post. I promise. And, I didn’t misspell Tocsins in this posted title.

The slang noun, Jabroni, expanded beyond its original use in professional wrestling to social media after the AFC Championship football game.

With more than passing amusement, I noted that a once-in-lifetime “weird” astrological alignment happened yesterday. In full and open disclosure, I do peek at astrological predictions while wondering how much […]
