Our weekend adventure continues. Just like Star Wars Episode II being right before the Clone Wars, and Episode III coming as they close, these blog posts skip over the exciting part of the weekend (playoff hockey). My journey to northeastern Pennsylvania is here. ********** Saturday, 10:00 pm: I hop on the team bus. 10:26:

“The Electric City”
DA-DA! Cue the Star Wars intro music as the next two paragraph move up your screen. I learned that despite being 20 minutes away from each other, Wilkes-Barre and Scranton Pennsylvania are galaxies apart: Scranton is known as “The Electric City” for being the birthplace of the electric rail car, but shuttles, taxis and buses aren’t
What Fall Out Boy Taught Me About English Class and the Best Quote I’ve Ever Conjured Up
Over the past few weeks, I’ve become acclimated to the Fall Out Boy song “My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark” from hearing it forty-eleven times at arenas during the AHL’s Calder Cup Playoffs. Most people probably think it’s called “Light Em Up,” since they say that a million times during the song
The Weirdest Good Day Ever
Wednesday was the most oddly memorable day I’ve had in a while. I was happy, a bit disheartened, relaxed, nervous, reminiscent and optimistic. Plus, there were cups set on fire.

It Feels So Weird to be Dry.

Another Day, Another Series. Is a Less-Enticing Title Out There?
After I gave my modesty a bath in the last post, I had to start this one with some self-deprecating humor. How’s that for a title? Anyway, I got another idea for a potentially great blog series today. Here’s hoping some of you can familiarize and/or participate with my philosophies. I’m not much of a
Jose Canseco’s First (Tornadoes) Bus Ride
It took until day one of the second road trip this season for Jose Canseco to step foot on the Worcester Tornadoes team bus. He’s getting along just fine with the players on the field and in the clubhouse, but he’s almost exclusively driven his car to and from road games himself. I didn’t include
From Minor League Sports to a Major Resolution: Part 8
If you know me well, you realize that I’m a bandwagon Celtics fan who really didn’t care one way or another if the NBA came back this season. The only people I felt bad for were the people who depended on the games for a livable income (as opposed to millions or billions of dollars).
