• Better Than the Icing on the Cake

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  There can be only one six. The battle of the pies continues and as of this Thanksgiving, includes another generation.  Our youngest, at 16, joined in yesterday with his own. Isaac produced a blueberry pie — filling and crust, with the vents spelling PIE . As always, our Southern-rooted guests and family ...

• Call Me Squeaky

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  At the West Roxbury YMCA today, one of the desk staff sought me to say excitedly that a Ribbon Rack ® was on the way. He said the Y had applied to the city for a bike rack in the parking lot and had heard back that there’s one coming in the spring when the weather warms enough to make it practical to install. I ...

• Rip ‘em Up

  Tear ‘em up. Cocks give ‘em hell. That was the common cheer when I was at University of South Carolina football games. I heard the cheer exhorting the team, the Gamecocks, many times. It wasn’t so much that I liked football. Rather the swim team, of which I was a member, had rights to sell programs and funnel ...

    Confusing Doctors Again Not much funny about breast cancer, eh? However, the medical community is giving us a big yuk on mammogram schedules. Like the ending of G.I. Joe cartoons, the moral of the episode invariably included, “And now we know…and knowing is half the battle.” In this case, the U.S. ...

• J-Hooked Today

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  Climbing stairs, of which my house has many, is less fun than it was a couple of hours ago. I have a dollar-bill sized bruise. A driver j-hooked me on my bike ride early this afternoon. I had been cocky about my ability to outwit the witless and impatient. Numerous drivers in Boston and Cambridge have swerved to ...

• Life and Death by Bike

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  We people could used more RAM.  In common public activities — for this post, think walking, cycling and driving — there are a ton of data to analyze every second. Yet the human norm is to limit the input, to be overly selective in using our brains. A fatal example occurred in Boston when an 84-year-old walked ...

• Crank Returns

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  My late mother does manifest through me. As in the tiny woman cowing the gigantic manager , I would shamelessly embarrass my children in pursuit of efficiency and clear thinking. Fortunately for them, none of my boys was at the Y yesterday to hear me. My mom may be dead, but the world is not missing a crank. I ...

• X Marks The Nice Spot

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  The politest intersection is Boston is remarkable in several aspects. First of all, let’s consider that a four-way stop in the city, this city can honestly have the attribute of polite. Not only in this era but in New England in general and Boston specifically, we are not known for our social graces. From the way ...

• Boston Commuter Rail Rant

  
  Marry in Massachusetts — Authority: 418
  The charm quickly peels awayfrom Bostons atavistic transit system. Like the crappy Pennsylvania Turnpike, we have the hemispheres oldest subway. It seems like it. Series note: This is part of the Rail-Volution inspired post set . At the weekends conference, I was surprised and pleased to learn about the ...

• Invisible Bike Rack

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  I surely make too much of this, but it is my nature to expect much from those who promise much. Where are the bike racks for the snazzy convention center at Ft. Point Channel? In its very subtle way (click thumbnail for large squint), there is one, one short one for the entire center plus the gigantic Westin ...

• Rail-Volution Posts Coming

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  Lever pullers, keyboard punchers, paper shufflers and tool users alike tend to short horizons. We have deadlines and uncertain careers, thinking in terms of days or months. Alternatively, I swam deeply from Thursday evening through Sunday morning with the long-view folk who attended Rail-Volution . Those involved in ...

• Too old or old enough?

  
  Harrumph! — Authority: 119
  So Tom Menino is 66. That’s a famous highway. It’s also a typical obituary number. With credit to his challengers and critics, few have made much of his age in this Boston mayoral re-election bid. To be sure his four terms and 16 plus years in office, the longest serving ever, have made the debates and campaign ...
