Restaurant Review: Hungry Mother

Emily and I have gone to a few restaurants in the area now and I think we have a good bead on what's good in Boston/Cambridge. For us, the best restaurant we've gone to, either here or elsewhere, is Hungry Mother. We've only been there twice, because that's as often as we can afford to … Continue reading Restaurant Review: Hungry Mother →

The Motion

I got caught up watching a soccer game while I was buying my nightly 24 case of beer and immediately felt at home. After watching the World Cup, I became very familiar with how a soccer game moves. It's a tidal movement. The players flow from one end of the field, then recede to the … Continue reading The Motion →

Zombies, Run!: Conclusion

This will be the last Zombies, Run! entry for a long, long while. Promise. After completing the first three missions and starting the third, I think I'm ready to bring in my final verdict on Zombies, Run! There are a couple of things that I wish they'd add: -I'd really like to know how much … Continue reading Zombies, Run!: Conclusion →

Flashback to Go Forward

For the first time ever, I'm watching a Red Sox game. Granted, it's a Red Sox game from April 1st, 2011, but it's still an actual, for really real, major league baseball game. After months of reading and watching clips of past games, this is extremely refreshing. I'm finally able to put my (still somewhat … Continue reading Flashback to Go Forward →

Zombies, Run!: First Mission Review

I used to run occasionally, but that was a year ago and the most I've done since then is to stare at my running shoes before quickly throwing a towel over them to hide my secret shame. So keep that in mind as I review the first mission of Zombies, Run!. As I mentioned before, … Continue reading Zombies, Run!: First Mission Review →

Last Season

At times, I feel like I've crashed a funeral. Every article I read about this upcoming season, there are the same words whispered over and over again in somber tones. "The collapse" "Last September" "2011" It's a spooky repetition. There's a shadow over the start of this season and for someone who's just now entering the … Continue reading Last Season →

Zombies, Run!: First Impression

If you've been reading my blog for a while, you might remember that at one point, I was doing some running. You might also remember that I stopped talking about it. A lot of that has to do with the fact that running bores the absolute dogs out of me. I can't keep doing it … Continue reading Zombies, Run!: First Impression →

The Hellion

There are players where it's almost impossible to see them as anything but legendary: Ted Williams, Babe Ruth, Lou Gehrig. Even in their flaws, they're almost more than human; Babe Ruth's love of excess and Ted Williams' temper. There is one player who goes beyond legend though, in every way. Ty Cobb set almost 120 … Continue reading The Hellion →

The Park

One of the most surprising things that I've read through-out my spring training, was that, prior to Henry, Werner and Lucchino buying the team, there was a lot of talk about abandoning Fenway and building a new park elsewhere. To me, even before I started my whole Baseball Project, this was unthinkable. Leave Fenway? But...it's … Continue reading The Park →

Making a Sandwich

To some, a sandwich is a quick and easy lunch. Put something between two slices of bread and bam, you're ready to go. Those people should never be trusted, either inside the kitchen or out. The Sandwich is something that can rise above and beyond its ingredients. In no situation is the term "the whole … Continue reading Making a Sandwich →
