Short article in the NY Times this morning. The study, which used nationwide data collected between 2007 to 2010, found that the average adult consumes about 100 calories worth of alcohol daily — an amount that for many people could contribute to excess weight gain. In fact, the study found, many Americans consume far more…

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:…

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…

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…

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…

UPDATE: No figuring this – Romney received 2 million fewer votes than McCain did in 2008 & Obama received 10 million less. Just heard that on the radio. Yup. As Dick Cheney would say, my miss was "Big Time". Yesterday I posted here How I think the election will turn out that I thought Romney…

The title is "Goodbye to Glocamorra" and I''m not sure who posted it on youtube. My friend Nancy sent it to me. When I opened it and saw it was 20 minutes long, I thought "I’m just going to watch the first two or three minutes." Of course ended up watching the whole thing. Inwood…

Ugh, the last game of the regular season, by 23-28 against Iona Prep. It was really an excellent game with good play by both teams. Stepinac had their chances to win – had the ball on Iona's 15 yard line with three minutes to play but couldn't get it in. Tim said the locker room…

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…

Having posted about Tim and the Stepinac JV Tim football: Stepinac JV now 6-0, here's a little bit about the varsity. They've had a tough season, but this was a good win. A short article. Last-second field goal ends St. Joseph by-the-Sea's undefeated season
