Tom Faranda I can honestly say, I never watched Dallas. It debuted when I was living in the Caribbean. When we got back to NY, Brigid did watch it a bit. BUT, I did watch I Dream of Jeannie occasionally when I was ub high school. From the LA Times, a nice profile on Hagman's interesting life: … Read more
Down 0-18 halfway through the third quarter, the varsity comes back, and scores the winning touchdown with 32 seconds left. Tim and the other JV starters dressed for the game, but none of them got in. Here’s the Lohud article, and below it some pictures and a couple of videos I took. I didn’t have … Read more
Oh, so confused. That fine Jesuit university, where my father got his college degree and I – long ago – got an MS. From the website of the Hudson Valley Coalition for Life (HVCL) – click through and read the prattling of a Fordham thologian, explaining how "the disagreements between us are remarkably narrow." Leading … Read more
Last Tuesday Brigid and I did a quick early morning walk at Croton Point, from where the small RV parking area is. We were shocked by the damage out beyond the RV area, but I suppose we shouldn’t have been. The trees would have taken the full force of the wind, with no protection. Crotonites … Read more

UPDATE: I showed Tim the two pictures below and he said “Oh my God look at the size of my arms!” Very pleased with himself. With a 27-6 win against Chaminade. Tim’s team just has so much speed, on offense and defense. I am of course massively biased, but Tim is playing better and better … Read more
