    OT: R.I.P Hayden Panettiere

    It's kind of odd, but vicariously I've actually thought about "what if" I was a big star in movies or sports. What I would genuinely enjoy would be to isolate myself from the artificial crap that goes on every day (ANY Red Carpet, ALL Social Media, NO BookTours, etc.), Instead I'd try...

    2026 Phillies Thread

    Maybe instead of being "buyers" at the trade deadline the Phillies should be "sellers". They are getting old, with several contracts that will seriously burden them looking ahead, and one of the worst minor league prospect pools in the major leagues. That is not a recipe for a bright future...

    OT: Friday Jukebox, Summer Dance Party edition

    It's been a long time since I've been to a fraternity party ---- so I'm not going to disagree with you ---- but there was a day :}

    Way, way OT—Travel to NH, VT, and ME

    In my thrilling days of youth and yesteryear the challenge was to drive the entire Kancamagus in the dark under only the light of the full moon --- with cars lights off.

    OT - Tom, did you ever catch up with viewing the complete Ken Burns series on "The American Revolution"

    I thought he did his usual good job. I hadn't given much thought to the interesting question of which side winning would actually be better for the native American Indian or the African slaves. Also, the deep divisions between the Patriots and the Loyalists that existed everywhere --- but...

    Friday juke box. Women playing the guitar or keyboards bass in honor

    It's hard for me to believe, but I first saw her perform in 1961 when I was a freshman at Bucknell --- THAT WAS 65 YEARS AGO! I think I had every one of her early Electra albums. Her mastery of the guitar was second only to her incredibly pure voice,

    OT: Camelback ski area in PA still open for skiing

    My entire career was in the ski industry. I got my start at Camelback during the period 1967-69. I've been fortunate enough to have skied from the summits of probably over 90% of the best ski resorts in New England and the American West --- and my only serious injury was at Camelback in 1969 on...

    It is about time

    Agree, but my impression is that the agents and the attorneys will try to litigate any rational proposal to solve or improve the flaws that are ruining college sports.

    OT: Poll: Would you want to live to be 100 years old?

    You may have nailed it. At age 65 I probably would have said no, but at age 83, and in good health both mentally and physically (my wife may differ on the mentally), I said yes. So much depends (pun unintended) on things in the future that you can't be certain about. I still have a lot in life...

    All knowing board. Chemo question.

    In early Fall of 2014 I was living just north of you in Little River, SC, and had surgery in Myrtle Beach for a nasty and deep melanoma that had developed on my chest very quickly while I was on vacation in Vermont. At the time my daughter was working at the Northwestern University Medical...
