Forgive me if I refrain from reveling in the lifting of the Cubs’ curse, since they reached the World Series for the first time since 1948. If the event had occurred three, four, or five years ago, I might share in the celebration, but this team they are not the lovable losers America had grown […]

The best way to highlight the names that were etched in Jockey history in the 1950s is by mentioning the leaders of the previous year. In the 1940s, the top riders were Adams, Arcaro, Atkinson, Meade, and Longden. As they continued to reign in the early 1950s, they were joined by a name that would […]
If you’re an adult and your bones aren’t forming anymore, you probably know there’s not much you can do to get taller, short of limb-lengthening surgeries. However, this is very expensive, troublesome, time-consuming, and dangerous, so I won’t go into it. On the other hand, if you’re still under 23, here’s what I’d do in […]
My husband, Ginger, is not an early riser. In fact, by the time she gets up, Nutmeg (me) has usually finished working out, done laundry, and gone to the grocery store. To be really clear, there are two things he’s going to be up early for; alpine skiing (never cross-country) and flying. Yesterday he started […]
I have been watching and loving professional football for many years. I’ve also studied the quarterback position very carefully. This position is quite tricky, and standout quarterbacks do a lot of mental and physical things very well: They communicate effectively with their teammates, coordinators, and coaches. They have a great vision. They read the defenses […]
This past weekend, Major League Baseball, as it does on a weekend every April, celebrated the player who barred Brownsville in America’s pastime. In Jackie Robinson’s honor, every person in uniform on every team wore 42, the number he gave them in his Hall of Fame career with the Dodgers. It’s a nice gesture but, […]

Your diet will depend on your performance both on and off the soccer field; more before and after the game. Below are some specialized soccer meals for […]
Bluesy guitar licks are the soul of every guitar solo. So in order to take on the best and make some amazing sounds, you’ll have to commit to learning as many of them as you can. But how do you get the best out of them once you’ve learned them? It can be all too […]
Who doesn’t like receiving a massage? And besides, who doesn’t enjoy a football massage? Ok, maybe not all, since there are that handful with the inexplicable problem of disproportionately ticklish feet; but barring that population, a foot rub, dare I say, is probably even better than a back rub. This may be because the feet […]
