You Throw Like A Girl

Last Wednesday, the Wilber-Clatonia girls softball team took on Milford. As a successful, world-renowned sportswriter, always at the ready, my boss asked me to go take some pictures of the game. Naturally, I said yes, because a fifty-plus-year-old man standing around in a park, taking pictures of teenage girls isn’t creepy at all.

Halloween Movie Challenge I: Monster Dearest

The internet steals from newspapers all the time. How about, for once, a newspaper steals from the internet instead? Every October, goggle-eyed weirdos on social media challenge one another to watch at least horror movie every single day. I’m not sure when Halloween went from being one day to a whole month, but I’m a spooky movie fan, so I’ll give it a shot.

One of my many roles here at The Fairbury Journal-News is that of award-winning sports writer. (Technically, I am an award-winning sports writer in much the same way Paris Hilton is, technically, an actor). Naturally, when the brutal spectacle of one of the world’s most competitive, unforgiving athletic endeavors needed to be covered for the newspaper, I was the only man for the job. Literally. I mean, I was the only one here.

Who Was Popular Tina?

Once in a while, growing up, I would occasionally catch snippets of conversation between my father and mother, or between my father and one of this friends. Grownups talk while their children stand around, waiting for the grownups to finish with all the boring, grownup talk so they can go to the park or the movies or the toy store. Still, parents sometimes forget their kids are listening.
Every once in a while, my father would mention someone he called “Popular Tina.” And laugh.

Once Upon A Time In Gotham

So I finally got to see Quentin Tarantino’s latest magnum opus, “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood.” Or is it “Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood?” I’ve seen it written both ways. Anyway, it has percolated in my mind for a couple of weeks and I have some thoughts, as you knew I would.
