Shawn's Blog: Seeking hope from the 1991 Lakers

http://shawnfury.blogspot.com/2011/12/seeking-hope-from-1991-lakers.html

A place to read about life in New York City, life in small Minnesota towns haunted by dolls, publishing, newspapers, writing, classic sports events and more. Tuesday, December 27, 2011. Seeking hope from the 1991 Lakers. See if this sounds familiar:. That's the 2011-12 Lakers. But it was also the 1991 Lakers. Chances are this season doesn't end like that one, but Lakers fans can at least hope it does, by looking back on how that 1991 season began. Hardly. But it was still highly effective. And then maybe...

http://shawnfury.blogspot.com/2010/02/small-town-blues.html

A place to read about life in New York City, life in small Minnesota towns haunted by dolls, publishing, newspapers, writing, classic sports events and more. Wednesday, February 17, 2010. Yesterday, a picture of Michael and Jeanette Tristani kept popping up on Yahoo! Whenever I'd check my email. The couple looked happy enough, but they told a depressing tale. The story focused on the Tristani family's. Compared to Hazelton, Janesville. For newcomers to any small towns, part of fitting in relates to where...

Shawn's Blog: Robby Benson, a tutor, a basketball, and a red-hot poker

http://shawnfury.blogspot.com/2011/08/robby-benson-tutor-basketball-and-red.html

A place to read about life in New York City, life in small Minnesota towns haunted by dolls, publishing, newspapers, writing, classic sports events and more. Monday, August 15, 2011. Robby Benson, a tutor, a basketball, and a red-hot poker. Any child of the '80s who dreamed of becoming an NBA star, or even only fantasized about hitting a game-winning jumper in the state tournament while under the guidance of a crusty old coach who just got off a boat, surely watched Hoosiers. It looks more like young Mr&...

A place to read about life in New York City, life in small Minnesota towns haunted by dolls, publishing, newspapers, writing, classic sports events and more. Friday, August 19, 2011. Jack, Nikita and some nukes. That was what I imagined life was like in the early '60s, as the United States and Soviet Union escalated their arms battle and it all came to a (war)head in Cuba. But still I only knew the children's book version. Several years ago I watched - and thoroughly enjoyed - the movie Thirteen Days.

Death of a friend. Growing up, I looked up to Keith, who was three years older than me. Like small towns everywhere, sports drove life in Janesville. Keith played football, baseball and basketball. At his parents' house, Keith, his brothers and dad hosted countless basketball games at the hoop in their backyar...He also o...

A place to read about life in New York City, life in small Minnesota towns haunted by dolls, publishing, newspapers, writing, classic sports events and more. Sunday, January 10, 2010. Inwood: A hidden gem in the Bronx, make that Manhattan. Some time ago, I took a late-night taxi home from work and gave the address to my middle-aged New Jersey driver. Up in the Bronx, right? He asked while turning on the meter. No, it's Manhattan. Inwood.". Nah, nah, that's the Bronx, not Manhattan.". And it has this guy.
