I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving. This was mine.

Two pods and a lot of rain It’s been a while. A little over a month ago, I stopped the madness of posting every day as I headed to San Francisco for a conference. The most recent post came after I returned from California. Then? I stopped. Oh, I thought about writing it but I gave myself a break. November tends to be a busy month of work and I was somewhat occupied with another conference, a few…

A fun night in Westchester County #Project365

Dave, Mark, Bob, Me, 2022 The first edition of “The Clubhouse” aired tonight on WGCH and Robcasting. We kept it simple tonight, only having 1969 “Miracle Met” Art Shamsky as a guest. Beyond that, it was just Dave Torromeo, Mark Jeffers, me, and Bob Small. We talked about sports and whatever else we wanted to talk about. It was a fun and easy show, serving as a reminder that I wish they could all…

I get to roll over Beethoven every Sunday on local radio. As it should be. #Project365

I felt the need for a breakfast sandwich this morning after a long day of football on Saturday. I pulled myself together and got out the door to head over to one of the delis that is actually open on Sunday morning. Sandwich and coffee in hand, I moved onto the WGCH studios and set up. What might not be known is that I don’t just sit down and talk. Depending on the show, I have to set up a mixer…

Another day under the headset #Project365

I’m home for a few minutes after calling the Connecticut Roughriders 4-3 overtime win over the Providence Capitals. It was the kind of game in which one team scored. Then another. And they alternated until the extra session when the Norwalk home team got the W. I’ll be back with them again next week. It’s one of the most unique setups I get to encounter. I call the game from inside the visiting…

I said I wanted to be busier. Well, here we are. #Project365

The malfunctioning scoreboard Always be ready. Survive and advance. Adjust as necessary. I grabbed a cup of coffee and sat on the couch for a moment before “Meet the Beatles” this morning when my phone buzzed from one of the two people scheduled to be my first guest in the history of the show. It turns out he wasn’t feeling well and chose discretion, opting to stay home. However, he was…

It was good to be back. #Project365

From the booth at Cardinal Stadium Some games just wear me out. Today’s Bishop Hendricken/Greenwich football game was outstanding. That, simply put, can be exhausting. That’s the post right there. I learned many years ago that a nail-biting game can drain adrenaline after it’s over. That’s how I feel tonight. It’s exhausting because it was a wonderful battle between two excellent…

Four years later. Writing this is therapeutic. #Project365

Two weeks to the day before she passed. The clock was ticking. The details of Sept 4, 2020, will live in my mind forever. Most of the details of Sept 3 will as well. I’d taken Mom to two appointments on the 3rd, with the second one being a cardiologist. She’d received news that her heart was failing. According to her as we talked in the car, she said it could be six months or who knows. I think,…

It was another wonderful experience. Thank you to Trumbull Little League. #Project365

Holiday Inn Express, Warwick, RI (Photo: IHG)   People were milling around the lobby of the hotel last night when I decided to slip out. We’d had a nice dinner of wings, nachos, and other kid-friendly finger foods, and I was tired. Some began to head outside to play Kan Jam, while the No Fun Policeman was yelling at people. Seriously, this dude was clearly the captain of the Holiday Inn Express…
