    The Era -- Day By Day

    My image of Mary is taking a beating... I've been very happily married for 30 years, but this is the one thing we've never been able to agree on!

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Whatever it is, let's hope its something pleasant. It's cold here in New England, but I don't think we have any snow in the weekend forecast. Enjoy the weekend all.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    A little late, but I hope everyone had a very happy holiday! Santa brought me a copy of "Memories of a Ballplayer"...only read about a third so far, but it's a great read. An excellent recommendation Lizzie!

    Thank God! You had me frightened...but what about the Paternos?

    The Era -- Day By Day

    As a rabid hockey fan, this is never a problem. Unfortunately, by the time the NHL gets into the playoffs these days - which is the best hockey - I'm back to baseball. Who wants to watch hockey in May and June?

    Lizzie, do you know how far ahead the comics were typically prepared?

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Allow me to second that Lizzie, we really do appreciate the work that must go in to this. I look forward to it daily. I've been waiting for this day to come - it's hard to grasp that this was the only real source of daily news at the time. Now the news is old by the time the papers come out -...

    Looks like Dan took a lesson from Sparky in defying the laws of physics.

    When Travel was Romantic

    My wife and I had the opportunity to take a 14-day road trip from Boston to Kansas and back this summer - admittedly it could have been a 4 or 5 day journey, but we took as many side trips and backroads as we could find. Not being under any time constraints obviously isn't the norm, but I'll...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    As much as I enjoy reading these everyday, the most meaningful part has been how much I've learned about the gradual deterioration of US-Japanese relations leading up to Pearl Harbor. Even though it was 80 years ago, I have a sense of trepidation waiting for the news to come in a few weeks...

    What Was The Last Movie You Watched?

    I Married a Witch - 1942 Not the greatest of Halloween movies, but anything with Veronica Lake is worth a watch...

    The Era -- Day By Day

    I was able to listen to that entire recording of Game 1 this weekend while painting the living room. Thoroughly enjoyed it - baseball more than any other sport is a game for radio. And please don't mention the Bucky Dent game...

    Alas, the Oak Room is no more. It was updated about 7 or 8 years ago. Used to be my favorite place in the city.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    The forced removal of 87 year old Johnny Pesky from the Red Sox dugout by MLB was one of the lowest things I've ever seen.

    The Era -- Day By Day

    Finally managed to get a week vacation, and the first thing I have to do when I get back is catch up on a week's worth of news and comic strips! Now that that's done, I can get to all the e-mails I missed...

    I believe they were ruled to be unconstitutional, by depriving the defendant of the right to be tried by "a jury of their peers"

    The Era -- Day By Day

    TMF is my favorite movie of all time, and I did get the chance to see it on the big screen last year. To see it on the big screen was fantastic...and my wife enjoyed a terrific nap.
