‘Scrubs’ Coming Back?
This time, the President has overstepped his boundries. I have put up with a couple of prime-time press conferences, mainly because they did not conflict with anything I watched. Now, he’s messing with “Scrubs.” The penultimate show of this season,…
Rocking the Red
The irony of my interest in tonight’s NHL playoff Game 7 between the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers is that the Rangers got me interested in the sport, but I want to see nothing more than their painful demise…

Several years ago, I met some friends from across the country in Washington, D.C., to watch the U.S. National team play a World Cup qualifier. So I could fully enjoy the experience, I stayed at a downtown hotel. After the…
