Yes, this post is two weeks late. No, I do not have an excuse. Other than the fact that while I've NOT been posting, the Revs have, for the most part, NOT been losing. We won't count the rock bottom loss to the Union.In hindsight: The game vs. Man U was a pain in the ass to get to. I am accustomed to there being no traffic en route to Gillette Stadium In The Middle Of Nowhere. Mostly because the game allegedly drew three times this season's average attendance. In spite ...

I started a cooking blog about a year ago to chronicle my various charades in my my kitchen.  I was inspired by a good number of friends, most notably my friend Kaela and her Local Kitchen blog, who wrote about all sorts of tasty treats with innate detail and supplemented with wonderful photography.It was my first ever attempt at blogging and while I thoroughly enjoyed the concept, the execution left much to be desired, at least in my mind.  I tried having a design formula so that ...

I am not a vegetarian.  I eat cheese. And eggs. And, occasionally, fish. I suppose technically that would make me a “pescetarian”. But when I describe myself as such, someone inevitably makes the joke: “What church do you go to?” The more polite folks ask “Oh, really? Why?”, but usually aren’t all that interested in hearing the answer. The ‘why’ mostly has to do with sustainability, my concerns with America’s meat production, and the health benefits of eating a plant-based diet. But I am not interested in preaching (and my guess is you’re not interested in ... Continue Reading

I need to post more often, I know this.  I’ve already been yelled at often enough about that … and so when I sat down to do my first blog post of 2011, I realized what I really wanted to say at this point wasn’t so much about the upcoming season, but more … much much more, to say thank you.

You hear the phrase “Time flies when you’re having fun” so often that at times … it becomes meaningless.  It’s like a random “Hello” to a stranger, just something to say as you’re going about your day.  And then you ... Continue Reading

Sorry for the delay, I know you’ve all been waiting with baited breath for this blog to come back to life.

I should have written prior to this, but since that didn’t happen, it’s now fun to go back and see where this team has come so far this season, just past the half way point.

A quick catch-up for this season, the regular season has ... Continue Reading

Pretty good night for the Revs on Saturday.  Winning 4-1 with a hat trick by a rookie is nothing to sneeze at.  The new look Fort went better than expected for the first week.  I’ll use a time-tested method to give my snapshot ratings:

Face: good, solid 7 1/2

Body: good, solid 7 1/2

Personality: good, solid 7 1/2

Can you believe Rosie O'Donnell is funny in this obscure reference?

Nobody expected the new setup to go off flawlessly, and it didn’t.  However, the area behind the North ... Continue Reading

Wow, that was a bad sequel.  And how dated are Space Soviets?  Not that 2001 was a great movie (how and why they went to a different planet than the novel which was written at the same time as the script is beyond me).  However, the year which was promised to be spectacular by 80’s era Hollywood has let me down thus far.  No Commie tanks rolling into Afghanistan (oh wait, that was 1985 in The Watchmen) err I mean Central America prompting some star-hopping concrete slab to set humanity straight.  No no, the big battleground in our country today ...

So first, welcome to my new blog.  I’m about 2.5 months late, but … they say better late than never (whoever they are). To make things worse, I’m going to begin on a downer. I started thinking about this last night, and realized that about 2 months ago, I was so excited about this upcoming season.  At that point, we didn’t know about Steve Ralston leaving or Jeff Larentowicz being traded, but we did know about Jay Heaps retiring.  At that point, we didn’t know the status of ...

Before the bitter memory of a disappointing end to the 2009 season is erased through holiday festivities, I thought I’d give a rundown of what I saw in The Fort this year, and offer up my hopes for next year:

In my opinion, 2009 was a year of slight decline for The Fort.  Lower overall attendance affected the numbers in our section.  Although a lot of the “pedestrian traffic” mitigating the “gap” issues of years past (the gap being a series of rows of people just standing and not participating), it’s hard to say The Fort sounded better than it did ...
