Each month my children each receive a free book from PJ Library, an organization that sends free books that celebrate Jewish values and culture to Jewish families across America and Canada. Last week the newest books arrived. They tend not to be my favorite stories. Perhaps part of the problem is that I’m not Jewish,…

Elysha and I attended yesterday’s Patriots game at Gillette Stadium. It was her first game in years, and she picked a good one. With less than 2:30 on the clock and down 33-28, Tom Brady orchestrated an eight play, 75 yard touchdown drive that won the game for the Patriots. With less than 30 seconds…
Read MoreThis is more important than selling shoes and books.
I have a friend who approached me a couple weeks ago and said, “Do you know why Michael Jordan never endorses political candidates? Because Democrats and Republicans both buy shoes.” He went on to say that he was surprised that I was writing so many politically-minded posts when I have books to sell. “Everyone reads,”…
Read MoreRugged good looks. Beautiful wives. No java.
I used to think that Patriots quarterback Tom Brady and I only had our rugged good looks and coincidentally beautiful wives in common. Not true. According to Yahoo sports: “Don’t expect to see Tom Brady at his local coffee shop anytime soon. The 38-year-old star quarterback for the New England Patriots told radio station WEEI’s…
Read MoreESPN’s Jason Whitlock asked a bunch of stupid questions about Robert Kraft, so I answered them. It’s a good strategy when faced with dumb, rhetorical questions.
In his press conference following the announcement that the NFL plans to uphold Tom Brady’s four game suspension, team owner Robert Kraft said: “The decision handed down by the league yesterday is unfathomable to me.” In a piece for ESPN about Kraft’s response, Jason Whitlock writes: “Really? Unfathomable? What country has Kraft been living in? What…
Read MoreYour future self wants you to be daring and adventurous. Don’t let the current version of yourself screw things up because it’s cold.
I went to the Patriots-Ravens playoff game on Saturday. Though I love attending Patriots games at Gillette Stadium, it’s not always easy. I left my house at 10:45 AM and returned home around 10:45 PM. It’s a long day. Prior to leaving the house, while I was dressed in my long underwear, my cat vomited…
Read MoreWhy it’s glorious to be a Patriots fan
Since 1993, the New England Patriots have had two starting quarterbacks: Perennial Pro Bowler Drew Bledsoe and future Hall of Famer Tom Brady. There was a season when backup quarterback Matt Cassel was forced to play when Tom Brady was injured, but there was no question that Brady would be the starting quarterback once he…
Read MoreCoincidence? I don’t think so.
The Patriots beat the Lions, 34-9 on Sunday, which marked fourteenth anniversary of quarterback Tom Brady’s debut in the NFL. On that same day in 2000, the Lions beat Tom Brady and the Patriots. Final score: 34-9. Coincidence? No way. Glitch in the matrix. Bug in the program. Virus in the machine. A sign that…
Read MoreI experienced genuine euphoria yesterday. Unabashed joy. Pure, unbridled happiness. When was the last time you felt that way?
The New England Patriots won an incredible game yesterday. It was one of the most amazing comeback victories that I have ever seen, but what will be lost to the casual observer was how the comeback began when the Patriots lost the ball on a controversial fourth down play with 2 minutes and 50 seconds…
Read MoreThe Patriots are proof-positive that perspective is hard, if not impossible
A friend and fellow Patriots season ticket holder sent this to me yesterday in one of the weekly email exchanges that we have prior to every game. I thought it summed things up perfectly: Tom Brady’s career record as a starting QB now stands at 139-39, making him the first quarterback in NFL history to…
