Tempest in a shoebox

August 17, 2016Esoteric 25 Comments

I’m decidedly not an art guy, though I did have a successful visit to the Louvre, in that I didn’t knock anything over. But as a longtime sneaker collector, I can still appreciate when there’s an intersect between what we put on our feet and what gets hung in a gallery. Continue Reading →

I’ve always liked making a post on New Year’s Eve, kind of a virtual milepost. I find nothing more appropriate than where I’m writing this one: in the backseat of a car taking me and my wife to the airport… Continue Reading →

October 23, 2014Esoteric Leave a Comment

Two Septembers ago, exactly two weeks before I got married, I decided to try something called “The Survival Race,” kind of a 5K on steroids. It served as a bonding experience with some longtime friends, and a relatively wholesome “sowing… Continue Reading →

The wonderful insanity of the WrestleMania VIII presser

April 6, 2014Esoteric 31 Comments

South of the border

February 28, 2014Esoteric Leave a Comment

I realize I haven’t been seen around these parts very much, but overall, I think that’s a very positive thing. When my friend Terry and I relaunched SportsAngle five years ago, it served primarily as a place for me to talk… Continue Reading →

Year of the dog

December 30, 2013Esoteric Leave a Comment

Last December, having been a dog owner for all of three days, I was letting our seven-pound puppy drag me around the neighborhood for about the 12th time that afternoon. I was completely exhausted, and I already had serious doubts… Continue Reading →

Back when I was a student at Duke, I’d frequently congregate with my two best friends for what we called “sessions.” I’d turn on my black light, we’d listen to Tool and have the particular brand of deep conservations you tend to… Continue Reading →

Hallow victory

October 30, 2013Esoteric Leave a Comment
