--I make a nice tomato sauce, using bell peppers and vinegar.--Our family used to have two waverunners that I drove too wildly and served as a poor example for my sons, who also drove too wildly. We don't have them anymore.--My wife is smarter than I. One of my sons is a farmer and the other is a professor of sociology and both are also smarter than I.--I'm not sure what else I would've done if I weren't a journalist. I always dreamed about having a TastyKake route at the Jersey shore. I am at the shore much of the summer but have no route, though I do enjoy Tastykakes.--I played a lot of pickup basketball until I tore my Achilles. My knees aren't great either.--Though it is more in the romantic tradition of journalism to have an eccentric two-fingered typing style, I type well, owing to a background in piano and a typing class in high school. I now suck at the piano.--I will talk about my grandson, Oliver, all day. He is also smarter than I even though he's not yet 3.--My golf game is just good enough to be ultimately disappointing.--I count myself lucky to have been covering the NBA in the 1980s and early 1990s.
