From There to Here

I got my web statistics for the past month today. Apparently, five people went to google, searched for “Get me them socks!” and came to my website. I figured they must have dug pretty deep to get to my site to find this post.
Nope. It’s the number two result on Google when you search “get […]

Thursday was another hell of a night in New Orleans, where we went to the House of Blues Voodoo Lounge for dinner and I ate a Po’ Boy Shrimp Sandwich, because if I’m not eating a Po’ Boy in New Orleans, it’s “not worth eating, according to the one New Orleans native in our midst. […]

I pulled a little video that I shot from the Katrina bus tour we went on yesterday and decided to upload it. I don’t have anything else to add about the situation, but wanted to share some more images from the Lower Ninth Ward.

As both a newspaper reporter for a good number of years and a writer for all of my life, I’ve usually been able to describe what I’ve seen through my writing enough to paint a picture for the reader.

I finally decided (after two years) that it was time to figure out how my YouTube account actually worked.
So today, I bring you the video of last night on Bourbon Street. I was talking about the guys playing jazz on Bourbon at Canal, and here they are. Lets hope this works and it means I […]

New Orleans is pretty freaking awesome, I must say. Yesterday was a long day, with leaving the house at 5 a.m., getting to New Orleans around 11:00 a.m., being in sessions until 5:30 p.m. and doing the dinner and drinks thing until well after midnight. But I’ve got 10 impressions on New Orleans because, hell, […]

The Celtics wrapped up the NBA Championship last night, and I probably watched postgame coverage until almost 2 a.m.
Now it’s 5 a.m., and I’m headed to the airport to fly to New Orleans, LA to attend a conference on voter engagement for nonprofit organizations. I’m excited about the conference, finding out what other organizations are […]

I haven’t updated the blog in a while, but tonight, I’m doing a Bill Simmons-esque live blog. It’s not ripping him off as much as its an homage. And hey, when he live blogged, the Celtics had the biggest comeback win ever in the NBA Finals. So it’s got to be good karma, right?
8:39 p.m. […]

I saw this on Deadspin.com and simply had to post it. Because when I go back and look at Red Sox tags, I want to laugh my ass off. The actual story is on Roto-World, here.

Last season at Fenway, a funny thing happened in Section 41. About 10 guys were there to celebrate some guy’s […]

I’m blogging at 4:30 a.m. on Monday, and I can’t sleep. I don’t know if it’s because:
1) My room is probably about 75-80 degrees, and even with the fan, I’m still not comfortable.
2) I took a four (maybe more) hour nap this afternoon, just because if I was awake I would have paced around crazy […]
