I have no idea.No idea if September 11, 2001 was the worst day of my life.  Or if it was September 12.Was it the day the Towers were struck by two jumbo jets, the Pentagon attacked by another, and a fourth plane being downed in a field in Shanksville, Pa.?Or was it a day later, when internet service was restored and I found out a good friend and his girlfriend were on United 175...

Ironic.TLBR goes all Lazarus on you - rising from the dead - on the day the world learned that one of its historically most evil denizens was shot dead.Excuse my rambling nonsense here, because over a 15 minute span this morning, I've gone from "America, Shampoo YEAH!" to sobbing over my Honey Nut Cheerios, to laughing at the Osama bin Hiding joke from the "Black Gallagher" skit...

"I drank WHAT?"-- SocratesFamous last words.How about famous first words? "Call me Ishmael.""It was the best of times, it was the worst of times.""This is the first post to my new blog. I'm starting this thing because it's better than doing nothing all day."Tuesday, May 10, 2005 - the first day of Throws Left, Bats Right.And today - Thursday, August 5 - is the last day of the entity...

After reading this, I realize that Terrell Owens and I have two things in common:1. he's open to playing for the New England Patriots.2. he's got no shot of ever playing for the New England Patriots.-----Quite a debate brewing.Saying all mosques support terror is akin to saying all priests diddle altar boys. There's a definite pattern of occurrence, but it's a wee...

My one question regarding the LeBRO-ESP-N show tonight: will he inscribe a Lindsay Lohan-esque message on his middle finger nail to the cities and teams he has left in his egomaniacal wake?-----Jon Wertheim of Sports Illustrated made a funny on Twitter: No matter what happens tonight, here's the biggest revelation: Greenwich has a Boys Club. The legions of latchkey kids in Greenwich...

News flash: One of the best players in the NBA has made a lucrative, long-term decision on a contract with his current Midwestern-based team.Well, don'tcha just wanna know who it is? Go to ESPN.com and see who it is.Wait for it...wait for it...wait for it...Nope, not LeBron. Although, the news that he'll provide news is the new sports media version of the cosmic worm hole. ESPN...

A shout-out from America's preeminent blogger and social media guru - during an event which was my unofficial beginning to the summer - has spun me back into writing form.(It's been a month - and quite a month at that - but more on that later.)And the summer kickoff event? Well, it was only the seminal event of the month of June...the NBA Draft.From 1988-92, I used to literally...

Bobby Doerr flying through the air.Brady leaving Pedroia in during game seven of the 2003 ALCS.Hannah stealing the ball.Did I forget any others?

So it has been a while since I blogged and I'm sure that the many readers - 1100+ click-thrus since the rebirth of TLBR (I thank you kindly) - thought that the blogging craze had died off as quickly as it came back.Nah, just been busy. But I have a whole bunch of text files here with notes - most of which have been proved outdated.So let's recap the crap that I originally jotted...

Back in the days of the Daily Update (circa 2004), a date which even predated TLBR, I penned a fond farewell to good friend The Village Idiot.It was a great New York City bar. It couldn't exist anywhere else. And it couldn't be duplicated, no matter how you tried. (and that means you, Hogs n Heifers, Coyote Ugly, and McFadden's).So when I read today that Jim Hegarty's in Milwaukee...

The Red Sox talk about defense and run prevention.The Patriots need to improve upon their defense and run prevention.Neither helped their cause last night.

First off, sad to read that one of the most talented and influential MC's of my generation - Guru - passed away this week. Born Keith Elam, the Boston native embraced the NYC scene and gave Brooklyn another groundbreaking hip-hop artist.Whether it was Gang Starr (w/ DJ Premier), solo, or his first-of-a-kind Jazzmatazz series, Guru always brought it.He died at age 43, due to complications...

TLBR may have found its new muse: click here.

So the Tea Party rolled into Boston yesterday (and the Capital of the Biggest Little today), complete with the rootinest, tootinest shootinest less-than-one-term and less-than-one-brain cell former Alaskan guvnah as the keynote speaker. Thankfully Ms. Palin didn't grace us with her presence.In full disclosure, I don't have much against the Tea Party folks. Like everyone else, I...

The last notable post with prose on TLBR: June 3, 2009.Lots of memorable stuff has happened since then. Let’s recap:It got hot; I moved to Pawtucket with Sara; the leaves fell off the trees; it got cold; Tiger crashed an SUV; it snowed; The Hangover came out on DVD; it thawed out; it rained a ton; it flooded; lots of basketball coaches got fired; I started blogging again. (and...

TLBR's coming back. Stay tuned on Wednesday, April 14 for the re-launch. You're welcome.
