The Fan vs. The Writer
Thu, February 4, 2010 @ 3:33PM
About a week ago I received a call from someone wondering if I wanted to attend a Cincinnati Reds media function in Findlay. The event was to be held that Saturday. Attending the event would be current-second baseman Brandon Phillips and Hall of Fame announcer Marty Brennaman. But the name that intrigued me the most was outfielder Glenn Braggs, a big part of the team's last world championship, in 1990. As anyone who reads my columns and my blogs know, my immediate loyalties are to Cleveland teams. I grew up in that area and am a big Indians, Browns and Cavaliers fan. But my father was born in the Dayton area, and my aunt still lives there. My dad (as I've mentioned in other posts) saw the legendary Big Red Machine, and my aunt took me to Reds games when I visited her in the summer as a child. As a result, I became a Reds fan. It wasn't like I was crossing loyalties, since the Reds and Indians are in different leagues.

Indoor plants
Fri, January 29, 2010 @ 6:35PM
My thoughts are mostly with the possibilities for outside this coming spring, and I am afraid the inside plants have been sadly neglected. I am going to have to throw out a basket of bacopa and a nice twirly kind of succulent which I can't identify, but which was attractive enough to bring the basket in and try to keep it going for another summer. I let it dry out unfortunately. I also lost my bay, but the rosemaries on the kitchen windowsill are clinging to life. I have three Purple King setcreaseas which are flourishing, and the three ivies are doing well. In spite of my neglect, the tender plants from the fairy garden which have to winter inside are still doing well. Which reminds me, the thyme and all the mosses in the fairy garden proper, the one outside, are still green and look just as they did in the fall. Every time the snow melts I expect to see that they have gone brown and sickly, but they defy cold weather wonderfully so fa.

GLIAC Women: Michigan Tech at TU
Sat, January 9, 2010 @ 4:26PM
Tiffin shot well enough to hang with fifth-ranked Michigan Tech in the early going, but the Huskies proved to be too much and took an 89-63 GLIAC decision. The host Dragons shot 15 of 25 in the first half, including 5 of 10 on 3-pointers. They led 29-24 with about 6:30 to go and missed a couple chances to increase the advantages, and Michigan Tech then scored 10 unanswered. Katie Zimmerman hit 2 treys on the run on her way to 18 points — all on 3's. Tech (12-1, 7-1) led 45-37 at halftime and scored the first seven points of the second half to take control. Tech got 21 points from Katie Wysocky and 16 from Danae Danen (14 in the second half). Karli Mast had 15 and Jennifer Johnston 10 off the bench for Tiffin (4-8, 1-6), and Mandy Jaeb had 13 points, seven below her average. The Dragons shot just 9 of 29 in the second hal.

McCarron's Use of the C Word Not Groovy
Sun, February 7, 2010 @ 1:11PM
When Tiger Woods accident led to the most unbelievable story in golf in many a year, I figured it would take something really huge to knock Tiger's tale out of the headlines. I was right of course and it took someone to use the C word to do it. Golf is a gentleman's game. There is no other sport that asks its competitors to police themselves like golf does. The vast majority of golfers do just that. Golfers call penalties on themselves assesing the appropriate punishment. When a golfer is labeled a cheater - people take notice. Scott McCarron trumped Tiger's absence by using the term to describe none other than Phil Mickelson. I'm not about to throw either of these guys under the bus. I don't think Phil cheated and I don't think McCarron was necessarily wrong with his comment, though he shouldn't have used the C word. Let me explain. Phil Mickelson had in his bag at La Jolla last week an old PingEye 2 wedge that just happens to have square grooves.

Witnessing train wrecks, one passenger at a time
Mon, January 11, 2010 @ 6:03PM
Following Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab’s attempt to blow up an airliner Christmas Day, the Department of Homeland Security announced it would buy 300 body-scanning machines this year. That’s double the amount the government had planned to buy earlier. There are some 40 full-body scanners already in use as part of a pilot program at 19 U.S. airports. The scanners also are being used in Europe, and I’d expect more will be added there, too -- along with some changes in policies and procedures. The x-ray vision scanners, capable of seeing through clothing, already are in use at the Amsterdam airport where Abdulmutallab boarded the flight to Detroit. But the would-be suicide bomber never passed through one because, as a transit passenger with a connecting flight, he was subjected to another standard security check before boarding the plane to Detroit.
