My World Was on Fire and No One Could Save Me but You...

My world was on fire, and I couldn't save myself. I needed someone's help, preferably a woman's… I never thought I'd end up in this predicament, but here I was, alone, trying to figure it all out. I hadn't dated in 40+ years. I reluctantly reentered the dating scene. I avoided hardcore dating sites 

I Don't Ever Wanna Feel Like I Did That Day...

At its best, talk therapy is like a subtle emotional shake-down. Sometimes it takes a while, but eventually the important stuff buried in darkness comes to light. When it does, everything starts to make sense, and only then can healing begin. In my case, it took 17 months for that to happen. The imp

I Went to See 'Sons of Legion' at the Orpheum Theatre and Never Expected This. (I'm Not a Hitman)

In mid-September, I saw Sons of Legion at Boston's Orpheum Theatre. I went solo.  I arrived early, as always, and hung around outside for a while before going in. I had a seat in the second row of the mezzanine with a great view of the whole stage. When I took my seat, the mezzanine was pretty empty

October 10th is World Mental Health Day...

I made it through my first year of widowhood with the help of a therapist. But when year two became more difficult, at times unbearable, I thought I needed a new therapist, one with a completely different approach. I carefully selected a second therapist, one who listed his expertise as "working wit

Previously, Chapter 35: She Dreams in Color, She Dreams in Red. Can't Find a Better Man...  After I interviewed in New York, I flew back to Boston, my second flight in two days, and for someone who doesn't like flying, more flight time than I was comfortable with. My oil-leaking Chevy Malibu was par

I. Am. Iron. Man!

I desperately need a project to help me get through another Massachusetts winter alone. And what better way than to challenge myself with something I've never done before... I've fixed up bicycles, but never built one from scratch. So I decided it's time to do it. I chose a used frame and fork, and 

How Can People be so Heartless? How Can People be so Cruel? (Easy to be Hard)

I didn’t quit my teaching job to work for Barstool Sports exclusively to be Dave Portnoy’s memelord, although that's what got me in the door. I had an ulterior motive. I wanted a chance to write for a major sports media company. Previously, I had been a guest writer and blogger at The Sun Chronicle 

When You're in Search of a Woman, There's Certain Criteria Every Man Needs To Consider...

If like me, and my good friend and local dating expert, "Crazy Old Man Pappas", you find yourself on the other side of 60, living alone, and in search of a companion, there's certain criteria you need to consider when attempting to find the right woman.

Longtime Toolies: Vindog Unboxes A New Table Saw

Recently someone commented, "Vindog's been at Barstool just long enough for a cup of coffee", and that person was right. I officially became a full-time employee on February 8, 2020. So, in about a month it'll be one year. In that time I've been involved in a lot of Barstool activities. In addition
