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

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. Some men would agree that health and fitness a

Inevitably, everyone gets old, if they're lucky. Some people give in gracefully, while others battle to the bitter end. I fall somewhere in between. I’m a realistic resister, but I know my limits. The mirror may lie, but the camera doesn’t. You wanna know how the world sees you? Take a selfie. It ma

I'll Never Forget Where I Was On 9/11

On 9/11/2001, I was a self-employed plumber doing service work and remodels. I had given a quote to a customer who divorced her first husband and then married her high school sweetheart. They originally parted ways after high school when he enlisted in the Navy and was stationed in the Philippines. 

I Need a Sign to Let Me Know You're Here...

As a kid, I always went looking for things that were hard to find. Like four-leaf clovers, praying mantises, Monarch Butterflies, bright red Cardinals, and rainbows. I knew enough not to go looking for unicorns or the creature known as Bigfoot… I still haven't found a four-leaf clover, but I’ve seen

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
