The Hockey Father's Day
He ground off the pick on tiny black figure skates so I'd have a pair that fit me. He put them on me when I was three years old. He pulled me out of the snowbanks and taught me to play the game. He built a rink for us, four blocks away. He brought us there in the evenings and showed me how to...
Happy Father's Day . . . and Then Some!
Today, of course, is Father's Day, so I send my best wishes to all of you who are fathers, or who have fathers, which, if I understand the basics of human biology correctly, all of you do.

Father's Day presence
I think I must have inherited that part of my Dad's genetic code that loved the St. Louis Cardinals. It was something we shared from my earliest awareness of the sporting world in the summer of 1962, 'til the day he died just after the 2007 season. For both of us it was a passion that stretched...
Russ, go get the hammer.
Thanks, Dad.Doesn't seem like much, but it's so fitting. The man has been through it all with me and has been the best thing that a son could hope for.
