Normally, when I’m walking the bridge between the office and South Station, I see various varieties of trash floating by. Not today!
Today, I saw the handiwork of some enterprising fisherman, who has dropped a lobster buoy dead in the middle Fort Point Channel, between Congress and Summer.
One question: When you haul in your [...]

Herald Scribe Slays Irony
June 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Media
Hahaha! So today, the Herald’s Ron Borges smacks around infertile female/Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez.
Borges calls Manny a “miscreant” who “created his own suspension by both cheating and then being stupid enough to get caught.” And he says other not-nice things as well.
Wait. Why is Borges writing for the Herald again? Ah. That’s it. [...]

Sunday Brew Day
June 28th, 2009 · No Comments · Beer
Once every few weeks, Sunday means it’s time for me to get the kitchen stinking like hops, with everything covered in syrup and malt dust. Brew day!
Today I’m working on an Imperial Red that will be tapped in August, at what’s likely to become the rowdiest backyard wedding Mattapan has ever seen. The style [...]

How Good Does Deval Patrick Have It?
June 26th, 2009 · No Comments · Politics
For one, he doesn’t have Bob DeLeo attacking him as a “coke-snorting, staff-banging governor.”
That’s the lot of Patrick’s Albany counterpart, David Paterson, who’s being attacked by a state senator of his own party. Who, incidentally, was recently indicted for physically assaulting an NY Post photographer in Brooklyn. Can you imagine anybody on Beacon Hill [...]

The Gov’s Gloves Are Off
June 25th, 2009 · No Comments · Media, Politics
A beautiful thing happened yesterday: the Herald turned in the best, most succinct analysis of the wicked backroom drama currently roiling Beacon Hill.
Patrick, who once expressed a disdain for political mudslinging, already has hired the state’s top opposition researcher, David Stone, to keep any gubernatorial hopefuls against the ropes. “This is going to get [...]

Q2 ‘09 Homebrew Wrapup
June 22nd, 2009 · No Comments · Beer
It’s quarter’s end. Almost. The folks I cover during my day job are now scrambling around crunching revenue figures and submarket rent data.
I will respond with a run-down of good homebrews that came to be in the past three months. In the end, it’ll be way, way tastier than a look at how sublease [...]

Tales from the Barber Shop
June 18th, 2009 · No Comments · Uncategorized
So my regular barber shop is on vacation, and I find myself at this other place down the street. I never go in there, because it looks like the type of place that’s full of filthy old men. But I’m weeks overdue and staring down a wedding this weekend, so there I am, in this [...]

The Boston Globe Is Worth A Dollar
June 15th, 2009 · No Comments · Media
Not at the newsstand. As a business.
That’s the take of one of several media analysts polled by David Carr in today’s Times.
And the beautiful thing is, that $1 isn’t even the lowest price that these pros predict the paper could sell for. Mark Simonton, who popped up in last week’s Journal to say that [...]
